The Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade is initiating the development of a domestic gaming console, and discussing necessary support measures with market participants, following a presidential directive. Experts are skeptical about the project's feasibility without substantial government subsidies. They point out that no Russian company is currently capable of producing a console comparable to Microsoft Xbox or Sony PlayStation, as these rivals rely on leading-edge technologies and cost hundreds of millions to develop.
