Big Walk FAQ

No. The item pages currently focus on identification, aliases, known uses, local mesh evidence and what is still unverified. Spawn locations and persistence rules are not treated as facts until they can be reproduced in a released session or documented by House House.

Yes. Players commonly search for “flashlight”, while the released build uses TorchProp naming. Both terms refer to the same portable light item.

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.

The current item database documents eleven portable tools and carrying items: walkie-talkie, laser pointer, binoculars, megaphone, flare gun, whiteboard, cowbell, big golden head, flashlight, backpack and holster. Portable equipment is handled as physical objects rather than a conventional inventory list.

Yes. The official site lists a Mac App Store version. It does not support Game Center, so use a Join Code to play with friends on other platforms.

No. Big Walk is designed exclusively for online co-op with 2–12 players. There is no solo mode at launch. If you don't have a full group, you can join public walks via the matchmaking menu.

Yes. Big Walk supports cross-platform online play between Steam (Windows/Mac), Mac App Store, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 at launch. No extra setting is needed — crossplay is on by default. A PlayStation Plus subscription is required for online play on PS5, and Nintendo Switch Online for Switch 2.

No. Big Walk is designed for a group that returns across multiple sessions. You join specific players through the friends menu or a short Join Code rather than queuing with strangers.

No split-screen or local couch co-op has been announced. Big Walk is an online cooperative game: the campaign walk is designed for a group connecting over the internet.

Up to 12 players total in one walk. The host's game session holds the party, and other players join via Join Code or public matchmaking.

No. Big Walk includes in-game proximity voice chat (nearby players hear you louder). Many groups still prefer Discord for stable audio across 8+ players and for post-walk banter.

The host selects a version of the world adapted to the expected minimum group size: 2-player, 3-player, or 4+-player. The overall maximum is 12 players. Treat the choice as a commitment — the world adapts to that group size.

Yes. As with all online multiplayer games on PlayStation 5, a PlayStation Plus subscription is required to play Big Walk online. On Steam/Mac no subscription is needed; on Switch 2, Nintendo Switch Online is required for online play.

Big Walk launched at $19.99 on August 4, 2026 across Steam, Mac App Store, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2. Steam had a launch-week discount. Regional pricing varies by store.

Account-level cross-progression has not been officially announced. The confirmed rule is that the host keeps the save — progression follows one player’s file across sessions, not a cloud account.

A verified completion time is not available yet. The game is designed for multi-session journeys: the island is large, and the developers expect groups to return across several walks.

Not generally. Eligible PlayStation Plus members can claim the PS5 version as an August 2026 Monthly Game. Otherwise Big Walk is paid: about $19.99 on Steam (€18.99 / ¥78 in China), with a 25% launch-week discount on Steam.

Progress is saved on the host's machine and is tied to the host's session. If the host leaves, another player can take over hosting from the same save. Exact file path varies by platform (Steam cloud saves on PC).
