An explanation on why Big Walk isn't available on Xbox. bigwalk.game/xbox

Regarding Xbox

In June 2026 we announced that the release of Big Walk would be limited to computers, Switch 2 and PS5. Since then, we have received many messages and comments, asking about a future Xbox release. We would like to address those questions here:

We have made the decision not to release Big Walk on Xbox, in accordance with the Palestinian-led BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement’s call to boycott Microsoft, and their designation of Microsoft Games (and Xbox) as a priority boycott target. If you need help understanding our motives, we would recommend reading about why Microsoft is a BDS priority target, the successes this kind of pressure has already had on Microsoft, and especially, watching this great introductory piece by People Make Games.

It has always been our intention for Big Walk to be played by groups of friends, and we know that keeping the game off Xbox runs counter to those intentions. This decision means that some people will miss out on playing Big Walk with their friends, and we understand the disappointment we’re causing. We are disappointed too.

We would love for people to be able to play the game on Xbox, but not until Microsoft and/or Xbox have been removed as BDS boycott targets.

We’ve made this decision with the belief that meaningful change can be made in the world, that coordinated collective action can confront even the most powerful interests, and that one day, Palestine will be free.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,
House House

Low angle shot of a small catamaran. A man in a hawaiian shirt sits on the back steps, looking down at the water. A woman stands behind him, hands behind her back, staring longingly into the distance. Behind her, on the roof of the boat, another woman sits, her eyes glued to a pair of binoculars. Orange and blue sky in the background.

A dirt paths winds off into dense bushland, with a wooden fence following it. Powerlines criss-cross the scene, dissolving into the distance. Mountains and wind turbines arejust barely visible in the background, smothered by overcast, purple and orange skies.

An almost empty wharf, overlooked by a large hotel with many balconies. Camera is at the end of a pier, looking back toward the foreshore. Lots of small poles and signs. A large group of clouds sit in the sky.

A small, rectangular lighthouse sits on the edge of a cliff. In front of it is a viewing platform, overlooking the ocean. A woman and kid sit on a bench in front of the lighthouse, looking very small in comparison. The silhouette of a jagged coastline juts out to the right of frame.

one more thing about freeplay, and an issue that's been on my mind for a while (alt text available):

Volunteering is not unethical. It's not exploitation to willingly give your labour and your love to something that gives you back all of it and more - connection, celebration, opportunities, a platform, created by you, for you. We need to reexamine this idea, this fear, that every time we do something for free, it means we've been robbed, and every time we ask someone to do something, it's manipulation. I know how it feels to be in this position, but it's killing our communities. It's killing our relationships. We are not businesses, we are people, and the things we want to give and receive are numerous.

I hope we can change how we view this, because if we can only get things done with money, we let the people with capital dictate everything that happens.
