Big Walk developer says no Xbox version because Microsoft is on the BDS boycott list

Big Walk developer House House said on its social accounts that the game has no Xbox version because Microsoft and Xbox remain on the BDS boycott list. The team said it would like players to be able to play the game on Xbox, but not until Microsoft and/or Xbox are removed as boycott targets. BDS lists Xbox over Microsoft's partnership with Israel and its prison system and its provision of Azure Cloud and AI systems, and has urged cancelling Game Pass subscriptions and boycotting series including Call of Duty and Candy Crush. Big Walk sold over one million copies in under a week after its 4th August release on Mac, Nintendo Switch 2, PC and PS5.
