    Celeste and TowerFall Pulled from Xbox in Support of BDS Movement

    Developer Maddy Thorson has removed her critically acclaimed games Celeste and TowerFall from the Xbox Store in solidarity with the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Microsoft's involvement with the Israeli government. The decision follows a trend of independent developers joining the boycott, with House House's Untitled Goose Game and Tenderfoot Tactics previously affected. Players can still purchase Celeste on other platforms, but the removal impacts future sales and visibility within the Xbox ecosystem.
