Celeste and TowerFall have been delisted from Xbox's digital storefronts, a move made deliberately in support of the BDS boycott, PC Gamer reports. Maddy Thorson, who directed both games, confirmed the intent in a post on Bluesky.

The removals take two of the most celebrated indie titles of the past decade off Microsoft's stores. Celeste in particular is a landmark — the 2018 platformer won wide critical acclaim and remains a touchstone for precision platforming and its handling of mental health themes — so its voluntary exit from a major storefront is a conspicuous statement rather than a quiet housekeeping move.

The delisting adds a high-profile name to a growing list of developers taking public positions through distribution decisions, using storefront presence itself as a form of protest. The games' availability on other platforms is unaffected by the Xbox removals as described in the report.
