House House Boycotts Xbox Over Microsoft’s Ties to Israel, Withholding Big Walk From the Platform

Indie game company House House has decided not to release its upcoming game “Big Walk” for Xbox, in solidarity with a Palestinian-led boycott of Microsoft, according to NME.

The decision follows a campaign by the BDS movement, which is calling for a boycott of Xbox owner Microsoft over the company’s ties to Israel.

According to BDS, the Israeli military uses Microsoft’s technology. The boycott is supported by the game’s developer.

“We have made this decision in the belief that real change is possible in the world, that coordinated collective efforts can challenge even the most powerful interests, and that Palestine will one day be free,” House House wrote in a statement.

“Big Walk” was released on other platforms in early August. It was developed by House House, which previously made the game “Untitled Goose Game.”
