Critically acclaimed video game Big Walk not released on Xbox to support BDS movement

Big Walk, a co-op puzzle adventure game, hasn't been featured on Xbox since its August launch, and the developers said it was to align with the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement guidelines. House House, the Australian studio behind the critically acclaimed game, released Big Walk earlier this year on PC, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2, while leaving out Xbox Series X and S. In a statement, the developers explained that the reason is that Xbox’s Microsoft is on the BDS list.
