It is notable that eight of the twenty games listed were not released on Russian Steam, reflecting regional access variations that influence player choices and release strategies in the market.

Earlier, a new sale began on Steam. Readers may recall that Time magazine recently named the top ten games of 2022, and the ongoing conversation about The Game Awards 2022 pointed to Elden Ring as a leading contender for Game of the Year. At the same time, Netflix has announced a Witcher spin‑off centered on the Rats gang, signaling a broader strategy to expand the franchise beyond video games into streaming media and universes that fans can explore across formats.
