Izvestia reports that it is planned to use ROSA Frash, a free operating system for home computers on the Linux kernel, as Bware on the console. As of the end of May 2024, there is no information about where the games for the novelty will come from. Meanwhile, experts and market participants note that the project to create a domestic game console rests precisely on the issue of the availability of games.

According to experts interviewed by the newspaper, a very accurate marketing calculation is required: on the one hand, these games should be competitive compared to those supplied for Sony PlayStation or Microsoft Xbox, on the other, an unspun product should be made cheaper. For payback, domestic games and consoles should be in demand not only in Russia, but also in friendly countries. However, international promotion is costly, as well as original marketing ideas. The head of the Content-Review project, Sergei Polovnikov, adds that the state and business should clearly structure the project for the development and release of such products.^[1]
