Grand Theft Auto’s publisher Take-Two Interactive just announced that it’s suspending all operations for the Rockstar Games and 2K labels in Russia and Belarus.

The decision comes following the ongoing tension between Ukraine and Russia. Take-Two’s Vice President Alan Lewis issued a statement informing the media outlets on this matter. This might be a red alert for all fans of Rockstar, because this could mean they might not be able to get their hands on new content provided by the company till the decision-makers have the decision reversed.

Vice President Alan Lewis released a huge statement in the wake of a series of events. The publisher of the upcoming GTA 6 won’t continue to operate starting now in Russia and Belarus.

By immediate effect, it’s suspending all “new sales, installations and marketing support” in the two European nations. There won’t be any kind of involvement across their Rockstar and 2K labels, in any form, in these regions.

This implies that all the fans of Grand Theft Auto and just Rockstar in general, living in these two countries, won’t be getting any new content at all.

But that doesn’t mean there’s no hope. This is likely a response to what could be a temporary situation, meaning when things improve, the decision to ban operations could be flipped. Till that happens, gamers have to find products from other publishers to enjoy.
