Nextgen patch for SnowRunner released (but not for Russia)

The developers of the SnowRunner game have released a next-gen patch for their project, allowing all owners of digital versions for current generation consoles to upgrade to the current build for free. But when trying to do this, Sony console owners living in Russia ran into a problem .

The game simply does not allow you to update the version, giving an error. Moreover, this only applies to PS5, Xbox Series holders receive the update without any problems. Of course, you can find a solution and get an upgrade, but it remains unclear whether this is a technical bug or a deliberate action on the part of Sony.

If the latter, then the question is why the Russians were left with the opportunity to receive games by subscription.
