According to a report from the Russian daily national newspaper Kommersant, the Russian government has issued an order to 'consider the issue of organizing the production of stationary and portable game consoles.' According to a person who provided information to Kommersant, VKontakte , Russia's largest social networking service, will be the main person in charge of the project, and GS Group, Russia's largest set-top box developer, will be in charge of manufacturing the game consoles.
As part of the order, VKontakte and GS Group will be responsible for producing both home and portable game consoles for Russian consumers by June 15, 2024.
In addition, the order also requires VKontakte and GS Group to 'create an operating system and cloud system for distributing games and programs to users.'
This is not the first time that Russia has been planning to enter the gaming industry. It was reported that Russia may develop its own game engine in preparation for game engine developers Epic Games and Unity Technologies suspending transactions with Russia in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. In addition, it was revealed that Russian agents had attempted to 'infiltrate' Minecraft-related communities in 2023.
Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the majority of the gaming industry has severed ties with Russia, so the Russian government has been working aggressively to revive its domestic gaming industry.
The deadline for the game console development order given to VKontakte and GS Group is set for June 15, 2024, so overseas game media Kotaku said, 'It is impossible to achieve this within a few months. ' Also, in Kommersant, an industry analyst commented, 'Russia does not have the capacity to manufacture its own PlayStation or Xbox, and it would take up to 10 years to create such a system from scratch.'
