FAQ
Big Walk — Frequently Asked Questions
Quick, factual answers to the most common questions about Big Walk: release date, player count, crossplay, solo play and more.
When does Big Walk release?
Big Walk launches on August 4, 2026, on Steam (Windows and Mac), PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2.
Can you play Big Walk solo?
No. Big Walk has no single-player mode — it is built entirely around cooperative play. You need at least one other person, and the game supports 2 to 12 players.
How many players can play Big Walk?
Between 2 and 12 players. The host chooses a world sized for 2, 3, or 4+ players at the start of a session. Smaller groups get focused co-op; larger groups get a fun, chaotic crowd.
Does Big Walk have crossplay?
Yes. Big Walk supports full crossplay between Steam, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2, so friends on different systems can play together.
Do I need a microphone to play?
No. Voice chat is the intended experience, but text chat has the same features and limitations, so you can play entirely by typing if you prefer.
Is there random online matchmaking?
No. Big Walk is designed for playing with people you know across multiple sessions. You join via your platform friends list or a join code rather than matching with strangers.
Who is making Big Walk?
Big Walk is developed by House House, the Melbourne studio behind Untitled Goose Game, and published by Panic.
How does saving work?
The host holds the save file and progress auto-saves. To continue your adventure, you generally reconnect with the same host. When the host leaves, the session ends.
How long is Big Walk?
It has a complete story with a beginning, middle and end. After finishing, the world stays open as a relaxed space to keep hanging out with friends.
What is proximity voice chat?
It is Big Walk's signature system where your voice behaves like real sound: it fades with distance, echoes in enclosed spaces and crackles over walkie-talkies. Communicating clearly is part of the challenge.
