FAQ

Is Big Walk on SteamDB and what does its page show?
Yes. Big Walk's SteamDB page is steamdb.info/app/1478500. It mirrors Steam's public data: store price history (useful for tracking discounts after the launch week), concurrent player charts, and update history.
Can You Play Big Walk Solo?
Yes, you can start a Big Walk session alone and explore the island by yourself. However, the game is designed around shared co-op walks — there is no dedicated full single-player mode, and the smallest world version is still built for a partner. Group walks of 2 to 12 players are the intended way to experience the puzzles and tools.
How does carrying items work in Big Walk?
Portable equipment is handled as physical objects rather than a conventional inventory list. A player normally carries one object at a time, with a holster or backpack slot for some items — the local build references GoesInHolsterHome for holster-compatible objects.
Are there cheat codes or game codes in Big Walk?
No. Big Walk has no cheat codes, redemption codes or unlock codes. The only codes in the game are Join Codes, which are session invitations for online co-op — they do not unlock content, skip progression or grant items. If a site offers "Big Walk codes" that promise rewards, it is a scam: the game is bought from official stores and played as-is.
Is Big Walk Couch Co-op (Local Multiplayer)?
No local split-screen or couch co-op has been announced for Big Walk. The game is built around online co-op: players join a party over the internet using Join Codes or matchmaking, with crossplay enabled by default between Steam (Windows/Mac), Mac App Store, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2. Each player needs their own copy and, on consoles, the platform's online subscription.
