Eurogamer picked up on the storyand reached out to Microsoft for an explanation and the game was quickly pulled. The game was created as part of the Xbox Creators Collection that is obviously not very closely-monitored for content.
If you are unfamiliar with Logan Paul and his “Suicide Forest” YouTube video, that can becleared up quickly with a Bing search. The Xbox Creators Collection game was quickly pulled when it was brought to the immediate attention of Larry Hryb, Xbox community manager, also known as Major Nelson.
This is being taken care of.

A Microsoft spokesperson gave an official statement on the matter:
“This content violates our Store policies and we’re in the process of removing it,” a company spokesperson said. “Users can report inappropriate content on the game product page or by sending a report directly to[email protected].”
Surely, Microsoft will want to avoid this issue from happening again, so it is lkely that the Redmond company will pay more attention to the games being submitted to the Xbox Creators Collection in the future.
