Full Russification of the Xbox 360 is around the corner

10 months after the start of official deliveries of the XBox 360 to Russia, Microsoft decided to accept the Russian-speaking users of the console to their friendly world family in full. According to a special press release, on November 1, sales of the Russian version of the gaming console will begin in Russia. Her menu and a number of accessories will be completely localized, and when you register on the Xbox Live service, Russia can finally be specified as the country of residence.

Russification of most of the Xbox site occurred in August. Along with the final console re-rupture, several localized games from the most recent releases will come out. Of course, they will include Halo 3, as well as the Project Gotham Racing 4 racing simulator already on sale, one of the tracks running through the streets of virtual St. Petersburg, the role playing Mass Effect and the game for the whole family Viva Pinata: Party Animal.

“The video game market in Russia is growing rapidly and I am sure that Xbox 360 consoles will contribute to this growth. Now the Xbox 360 console is at the peak of its popularity in Central Europe, and we are ready to take the next serious step and loudly declare ourselves in the dynamically developing Russian market. I am glad that we implement a local approach to content, games and people. Russia is a very important market for us, which is why we have provided full support for the Xbox 360 in Russian, ”said Stefan Lampinen, who is responsible for bringing Microsoft’s entertainment division to new markets in our region.
