Less than a day after Microsoft announced it was suspending sales of new products in the country, Minecraft was pulled from the App Store and Google Play Store in Russia.

According to several reports, including iPhones.ru, and Gazeta.ruMinecraft was removed from the Google Play Store and App Store on Saturday:

iMore contacted Microsoft for confirmation, but a quick comparison of Apple’s websites for the US and Russia indicates that Minecraft is no longer detectable on the latter when searched. iPhones.ru reports that there is only a trial version of the game left on Google Play.

On Friday, Microsoft announced it was suspending sales of new products in the country. From Windows Central:

Microsoft will suspend the sale of all its products and services in Russia. Company President Brad Smith announced the move today, March 4, 2022.

“Like the rest of the world, we are horrified, angered and saddened by the images and news coming from the war in Ukraine and condemn this unwarranted, unprovoked and unlawful invasion by Russia,” Smith said.

It’s unclear at this point if Minecraft’s absence from the aforementioned app stores is intentional or related to these measures. Russia has responded to the sanctions by banning or removing access to many popular Western services, including Facebook and Twitter, in recent days as the invasion of Ukraine continues to dominate global headlines.
