==Notable Events==
===Russo-Ukrainian war===
2022 was marked in large part by the invasion of [[Ukraine]] by [[Russia]], which began on February 24 that year. Several video game developers and publishers with ties to Eastern Europe provided support for Ukrainian aid:
* Polish game developer [[11 bit studios]] pledged to donate all profits earned over the next seven days from ''[[This War of Mine]]'' (2014) and its downloadable content to the Ukrainian Red Cross.
* Polish game developer and publisher [[CD Projekt]] donated 1 million zloty (approximately €182,000) to the Polish Humanitarian Action group
* Swedish game company [[Embracer Group]] donated $1 million to various charities, including the Red Cross and ACT Alliance
* Czech video game developer [[SCS Software]] donated over €20,000 to "multiple charities", and is working on new DLC for ''[[American Truck Simulator]]'' and ''[[Euro Truck Simulator 2]]'' to raise funds for Ukrainian charities.
* The Pokemon Company and Niantic announced they would donate $200K each, alongside an addition $75K raised by Niantic employees, to organizations such as GlobalGiving to provide humanitarian relief in Ukraine. Niantic also suspended the availability of ''[[Pokémon GO]]'', ''[[Pikmin Bloom]]'', and ''[[Ingress]]'' in both Russia and Belarus.

[[Electronic Arts]], [[Microsoft]], and [[Activision Blizzard]], among others, halted sales of physical and digital products in Russia during the conflict:
* EA announced on March 2 that it had started the process of removing the Russian national football team and Russian football clubs from its ''[[FIFA (franchise)|FIFA]]'' series as well as removing the Belarusian and Russian national teams and their club teams from ''[[NHL 22]]''.
* Nintendo announced on March 9 that [[Advance Wars|''Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp'']], a tactical war game with a faction based on Soviet-era Russia, would be delayed indefinitely due to "recent world events".

Two game bundles offered by itch.io and Humble Bundle raised over $6 million and $20 million for Ukraine aid support, respectively. Epic Games made all proceeds from Fortnite during the last two weeks of March 2022 go to charitable aid for Ukraine, and raised over $144 million.
