Electronic Arts has joined the chorus of companies that will temporarily cease operations in Russia after its invasion of Ukraine. EA will no longer sell content, games or virtual currency in Russia or Belarus as long as the conflict continues, the publisher announced Friday.

“We have made the decision to halt sales of our games and content, including virtual currency packs, in Russia and Belarus while this dispute continues,” EA said in a statement. “As a result, our games and content will no longer be available for purchase in our Russian region storefront on Origin or the EA app, including through game stores. We are also working with our platform partners to remove our titles from their stores and stop selling new in-game content in the region.

This isn’t the first action EA has taken around Russia in recent weeks. The company also removed Russian teams from its sports video games. FIFA 22 and NHL 22.

Electronic Arts also says it is currently trying to figure out how best to help the region, especially its colleagues and partners who remain there.

Besides EA, several other companies, including Microsoft, CD Projekt Group and Bloober Team, have announced that they will no longer sell to Russia.
