As explained by the general manager of PlayStation in Russia Sergey Klisho, Sony was not the only publisher that produced discs at a plant in the city of Borovsk, Kaluga Region.. The direct decision to close the plant was not made by the PlayStation team.

Alexey Titarenko, a spokesman for the GfK agency, added that even before the closure of the Russian plant, Sony had recently sold discs in Russia mainly from Europe. Therefore, the players will not feel any changes.

Sony is now preparing to launch the PlayStation 5 in fall 2023.
