House House will not release Big Walk on Xbox in support of pro-Palestinian BDS campaign
Melbourne-based developer House House will not release its co-op game Big Walk on Xbox due to support for the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) campaign, which has designated Microsoft Games and Xbox as boycott targets. This decision, while understood to disappoint players, aligns with the developer's belief in collective action for meaningful change. Other indie developers have also taken similar stances against Microsoft's alleged complicity in Israeli actions.
