"Why is Sony cutting access to the PlayStation Store in Russia?
The company is also cutting access to the PlayStation Store. Sony is joining Microsoft in stopping Russian sales following the country's invasion of Ukraine. CNBC reports Sony has halted all PlayStation hardware and software sales in Russia, and has cut access to the digital PlayStation Store."
