House House Won't Release Big Walk on Xbox in Support of Pro-Palestinian BDS Campaign
Summary
Melbourne-based developer House House has announced it will not release its cooperative game Big Walk on Xbox, citing support for the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) campaign. This decision means the highly anticipated title will be absent from Microsoft's console platform and may only launch on other platforms. House House, known for Untitled Goose Game, becomes one of the few independent studios to directly link a political stance to a commercial release decision. For players, Xbox users will be unable to purchase or play the game through official channels, while those on other platforms remain unaffected. The move may also spark further industry discussion about platform choices, political expression, and commercial interests.
