Australian development studio House House has confirmed its active participation in the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions campaign directed at Microsoft. Known for developing Untitled Goose Game, the team shared that it has observed the boycott initiative, which began in 2025 in response to Microsoft's corporate relations with the Israeli military.
As a direct consequence of this stance, the studio revealed that its upcoming cooperative puzzle title, Big Walk, will not be released on Xbox consoles. The developer pointed to the ongoing protest action as the explicit justification for excluding the platform from its launch plans.
Players planning to play the collaborative adventure will still have access across other hardware ecosystems. Big Walk remains scheduled to arrive on PC, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
