This morning, May 7, it was reported that gaming companies in Russia are being fined extensively due to lawsuits from Roskomnadzor. Amidst these developments, there were speculations that the next step might be to block the games, but the agency denied these claims.

In 2026, Roskomnadzor took a firm stance on ensuring that game developers comply with the requirement to localize data in Russia. This was reported by the law firm Semenov&Pevzner in a conversation with the newspaper “Kommersant”.

She was fined 2 million rubles.

Such information was shared by the company “M.Video” in a conversation with the newspaper “RBC”.

The gaming platform Roblox continues to face issues in Russia. At the end of last year, it was officially blocked in the country, and now, nearly five months later, it has been fined.

The idea was proposed by the Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Family Protection, Vitaly Milonov.

Such a fine was issued by the justice of the peace of Judicial District No. 422 in the Tagansky District of Moscow.

He was simply misunderstood.

The CEO of the Institute for Internet Development (IRI), Alexey Goreslavsky, discussed the topic of “import substitution” of video games in Russia at the RIGF 2026 forum. He is convinced that although it is a challenging task, it is entirely achievable — and can be accomplished in the coming years.

The Ministry of Digital Development of the Russian Federation has prepared a set of measures aimed at developing the gaming industry in Russia. The head of the ministry, Maksut Shadaev, discussed this initiative in a meeting with journalists.

Creating large-scale games is expensive, so using taxpayer money for this is a “questionable story,” according to Anton Gorelkin, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma’s Committee on Information Policy of the Russian Federation.

A month ago, Videogame industry development organization (VIDO) publicly announced plans to develop a strategy to support game development in Russia for the next ten years. Now it has officially presented the first version of the document.

Now Battlestate Games has to pay a fine of 2 million rubles.

The Video Game Development Industry Organization (VGIO) has announced a new initiative. It aims to develop a document outlining a “comprehensive strategy” to support game development in Russia until 2036.

Last week, the Moscow City Duma proposed introducing mandatory age labeling for internet-distributed games in Russia. This initiative was opposed by the Organization for the Development of the Video Game Industry (RDVI).

The specialists at the service “YuKassa” reported this in a recent study.

Officials aim to use this to protect children and young people from “destructive content” online.

In total, there were more than 104,000.

This initiative was put forward by the Deputy Speaker of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, Vladislav Davankov, as well as deputies Sardan Avksentyev and Yaroslav Samylin.
