Russian President Vladimir Putin has directed the government to establish a domestic gaming industry, focusing on the development of stationary and portable consoles, an operating system, and cloud infrastructure for game delivery. This initiative is in response to major game companies like Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo halting sales to Russia due to its invasion of Ukraine. Despite challenges such as a lack of expertise and potential restrictions on advanced chips, the government, led by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, has until June 15 to explore the proposal. VK, a Russian technology company, may lead the project, which could take up to 10 years to develop. Collaboration with China for a portable console similar to Valve's Steam Deck is also being considered.
