Big Walk devs explain why it isn't on Xbox and likely never will be, 'not until Microsoft and/or Xbox have been removed as BDS boycott targets'
Developer House House has confirmed that their co-op game Big Walk will not be released on Xbox due to the Palestinian-led BDS movement's call to boycott Microsoft and Xbox. The studio cited Microsoft's alleged use of Azure for storing intercepted telecommunications data from Gaza and The West Bank as the reason for the boycott target designation. While acknowledging the decision will disappoint some players, House House stated their belief in collective action for meaningful change.
