Gran Turismo 7 pulled from sale in Russia

Many are considering GT 7 as a return to form for the series. The latest iteration of the racing franchise solves the technical issues of its predecessors. Additionally, it puts emphasis on the indulgent aspects of the game rather than online multiplayer. Truly bringing the title in line with Kazunori Yamauchi’s quote:

“Gran Turismo is an integrated simulator for enjoying life with cars. It’s a sandbox where players can freely discover experiences on their own.”

According to the publication, Sony has made the notable decision to respond to the global situation. To be more exact, the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Significantly, Gran Turismo 7 would not be available for sale in Russia.

And so, while the game launches worldwide on March 4, the same isn’t true for Russia. Eurogamer reports Sony made the momentous decision on March 3. However, this is pending an official announcement from the publisher. Indeed, the seriousness of such a decision would warrant careful consideration of many aspects before Sony confirms it.
