Minecraft is removed from Russian AppStore & Google Play Store

Following Microsoft’s decision on March 4th, Minecraft is no longer available in the Russian AppStore and Google Play Store.

While no official statement from Microsoft was received, a quick comparison of Apple’s websites for the U.S. and Russia indicates Minecraft is no longer discoverable on the latter when searching for it, with only a trial version of the game on Google Play remaining.

Microsoft is following footsteps of Apple, Intel, AMD, and many other tech companies, who shut down their operations in Russia.
