What “no Xbox” means for groups
Groups planning a mixed-platform night should check console availability first: Steam, PS5 and Switch 2 players can all walk together, but anyone on Xbox will need another device or platform. Guests only need their own platform’s online subscription — the host’s store does not restrict who joins.
Buy once per platform, not per person: with Big Walk’s host-owned saves, one copy on a console covers the whole household’s local co-op nights.
