“Big Walk Developer House House Explains Xbox Boycott, Game Skipping Microsoft Console” — what this page in the network covers. House House, the Australian studio behind Untitled Goose Game, has clarified why its upcoming cooperative adventure Big Walk will not launch on Xbox. The developer says it is boycotting Microsoft's console over the company's policies, though it did not specify which policies in its public statement. This decision means Big Walk is currently slated only for PC and PlayStation 5, leaving Xbox players without access to one of 2025's most anticipated indie titles.
The move highlights growing tensions between independent developers and platform holders over revenue sharing, certification, and discoverability. House House joins a small but vocal group of studios choosing to skip Xbox, potentially limiting the game's audience but reinforcing the studio's values. As Big Walk's release approaches, the absence of an Xbox version could impact sales and player community growth, but House House appears willing to take that risk for a principled stand.
