Big Walk Developers Refuse to Release Game on Xbox Due to Microsoft Boycott
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
The developers of Big Walk refused to release the game on Xbox in support of the BDS movement, which calls for a boycott of Microsoft due to its stance on Palestine.
In June 2026, House House studio announced that the game would be released on PC, Switch 2, and PS5. After numerous questions about Xbox, the developers explained their decision, citing that the BDS movement considers Microsoft and Xbox priority boycott targets.
The developers acknowledged that refusing to release on Xbox contradicts their original intention – to allow friends' companies to play together. They understand that some users will lose this opportunity and share their disappointment.
We would like people to be able to play this game on Xbox, but this will only be possible after Microsoft and/or Xbox are removed from the BDS boycott target list.
The studio believes that collective action can change the world and resist the interests of even the most powerful forces, and that Palestine will gain freedom.
