Nintendo has said it will no longer sell games in Russia through its online store as the Japanese giant closes operations in the increasingly isolated country.
The changes, which were announced and came into effect on Wednesday, follow Nintendo's suspension of product shipments to Russia in March 2022 following the invasion of Ukraine, the Telegraph reports.
Russian customers can still re-download previously purchased content, but no new payments can be made or new accounts created, Nintendo said in a statement.
Following the suspension of the shipment and "as a result of the economic outlook, Nintendo of Europe has decided to close the operations of its Russian subsidiary", the company said.
A growing number of multinationals have completely or partially suspended business in Russia since the start of the war in Ukraine.
