Which platforms Big Walk runs on, whether your group can trek together across them, what it costs right now, and exactly what hardware you need on PC.

How Crossplay Works
One island, every platform
Cross-platform multiplayer is built in from launch. A mixed crew of PC, Mac, PS5, and Switch 2 players walks the same island in lobbies of two to twelve.
Hosts hold the journey
Save data lives with the lobby host, so friends can drop in and out between treks without anyone losing progress.
Passwords are mandatory
Since patch 1.4.9 every new session requires a password at start time — set one and share it with your crew before heading to the drawbridge.
Voice is part of crossplay too
Proximity voice chat runs across platforms, with volume normalization patches already making quiet voices easier to hear than at launch.

FAQ
Is Big Walk on PS5?
Yes. Big Walk launched on PlayStation 5 on August 4, 2026 — the same day as the PC release — and it was part of the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games lineup for August 2026, so subscribers could claim it at no extra cost during that window.
Is Big Walk coming to Xbox?
There is no Xbox version today and none has been announced. Available platforms are Windows, macOS, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
Does Big Walk have crossplay?
Yes. Big Walk ships with cross-platform multiplayer, so a Windows player, a PS5 friend, and a Switch 2 trekker share the same online lobby of two to twelve players. The lobby host carries the save data.
How much does Big Walk cost?
$19.99 USD on Steam with no discount at this time. Console and Mac App Store pricing can differ by region, so check your storefront before buying.
Do all players need the same platform to play together?
No — cross-platform lobbies are the default. One practical note for hosts: since patch 1.4.9, starting a game requires setting a session password, so share it with friends on any platform before you set off.
