It was noted that the page originally added to the main game can be viewed by Russian players from the PlayStation 5 console, and users who still have rubles in their PSN wallets can pre-order.

We canceled your order and refunded your money. We apologize for the inconvenience caused,” he wrote in the letter. After that, Sony removed the Burning Shores page.
Now Russians can purchase the game using accounts in other regions. Turkey remains the most popular option due to the favorable exchange rate and the availability of Russian subtitles or full localization for most games. Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores hits theaters on April 19.
