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

Please just get your money paid out to you, do not do this spendable balance shit. I know that it can take a while to hit that payout threshold but that is YOUR money, you earned it, don't let them keep it.

They emailed me as well and I was sure I sniffed AI but there was no disclosure, so I did a quick search here and this post came up. Looks like they've taken the AI disclosure down 🥴 shady!!

I am truly truly enamored with @panpipestudio.bsky.social 's Colorbound, oh wow. I literally wept my way through the intro. The art is beautiful and the puzzles hit the sweet spot of challenging but approachable. Genuinely special! store.steampowered.com/app/3778610/...

@michakes.bsky.social Oct 8, 2026, 4:06 PM

Really enjoyed PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE from @teaisfortoby.bsky.social, unbelievably stylish and just great to look at. The story comes out swinging and I am very excited to unravel more of it when it launches. LOVE all the accessibility options as well! store.steampowered.com/app/4656880/...

@michakes.bsky.social Oct 8, 2026, 4:06 PM

Had a super nice time with Woodo from @juliaprokhorova.bsky.social! Truly adorable from top to bottom and an utterly zen gameplay experience. I loved the art and the extremely sweet story and just how truly tactile everything felt! store.steampowered.com/app/2572040/...

@michakes.bsky.social Oct 8, 2026, 4:06 PM

Yay for @komodorange.com's Froggy Brews!! The art in the intro cutscene is so soft and lovely, I wanna live in it!! This one is very cute and sweet, I love the idea of solving a little puzzle to brew the perfect tea. Love the studio logo as well!! store.steampowered.com/app/3814270/...

@michakes.bsky.social Oct 8, 2026, 4:06 PM

Book Nook from @malapatastudio.bsky.social was super cute and nice to play. Genuinely perfect for someone like me who loves the idea of those little DIY book nooks but hates the thought of having to use a bunch of messy glue and deal with wiring 😳 really nice! store.steampowered.com/app/4414620/...

I found @firelinegames.com's Leafy Corner VERY addicting!! I LOVED that all the plants were real plants (some I even have in my home!) and all the info on them was accurate! I was too into it, I kept playing after I ended stream 🫣 very cute and satisfying! store.steampowered.com/app/3558600/...
