The developers of the video game Big Walk, House House, have announced that the title will not be released on the Xbox platform. The decision serves as a boycott of Microsoft, which the developers state is in support of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

This move marks a notable instance of a game studio leveraging its product distribution to take a political stance regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. By opting to skip the Xbox platform, the studio aims to align its business operations with the objectives of the BDS movement, which advocates for economic pressure against entities associated with Israeli policies.
