House House will not release Big Walk on Xbox in support of the BDS boycott campaign

Melbourne developer House House said it will not release its co-op game Big Walk on Xbox, citing the Palestinian-led BDS movement's call to boycott Microsoft. The studio said it would like players to be able to play the game on Xbox, but not until Microsoft or Xbox is removed as a BDS boycott target, and acknowledged some players will miss out. The report also notes that Luck be a Landlord developer Dan Dilorio urged players not to buy the game on Xbox and plans to donate $10,000 to The Palestine Children's Relief Fund, while Ice Water removed Tenderfoot Tactics from Xbox and STJV union members at Arkane Studios published an open letter demanding Microsoft stop supporting Israel.
