How to buy and play new games on PS4 and PS5 in Russia.

After Sony left the Russian market and disabled transactions in the PS Store related to blocked regions, you can still purchase and play PS5 games by creating a new account in a different country. Here’s how:

Create a new PlayStation Network (PSN) account in a country where these restrictions do not apply. For example, you can create an account in the UK, Japan, or Germany.

This new account will use the currency of the chosen country, and you won’t need to link it to a local credit card.

You can activate a PS Plus subscription for your region through this new account.

Use digital codes or gift cards to add funds to your new account, or purchase games directly from the PlayStation Store using the new account’s currency.

You can also activate physical game discs or updates with this new account.

Download and play new PS5 games for free using this account.

You can start the registration process for a new account in the UK by visiting the PlayStation website here: Create a PSN Account for PS5.

If you prefer not to go through the registration process yourself, you can buy an account from a reputable source like psn-accounts.com.

Keep in mind that there are some downsides to using new PSN accounts:

You won’t have access to your previous game progress, so you may need to repurchase and replay your games.
Not all games support switching between different PSN accounts, and some games may not work on new accounts.
Games purchased through accounts from other countries may not have Russian language support or translations.
Prices for games in different regions may vary, and buying PlayStation Network (PSN) cards with a markup can increase the cost over time.
Make sure to consider these factors before creating a new account to purchase and play PS5 games in Russia.
