Briefings

House House announced in October 2026 that it will not release its popular multiplayer game Big Walk on Xbox consoles. This decision follows the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which targets Microsoft due to its contracts with the Israeli military and government. The game launched in August and has been well-received, but Xbox players are excluded from the experience. The article notes that Microsoft was named a priority BDS target in June 2026 over its military contracts.

Key points

• House House announced in October 2026 that it will not release Big Walk on Xbox consoles to comply with the Palestinian-led BDS movement.
