Quick answer

Big Walk is a handcrafted co-op adventure built around exploration, proximity chat and teamwork. Choose a reliable host, gather 2 to 12 friends, finish the tutorial and use landmarks, tools and clear communication to explore the island.

Choose the host first

The host owns the automatic save. Continue later with that same host and share the new Join Code with the group.

Explore without quest arrows

After the tutorial, follow colorful structures, mountains, rivers and paths. Mark puzzles you cannot solve and return after finding maps, GPS devices or communication tools.

Use in-game communication

Voices fade with distance and can be blocked by walls or puzzle rules. Walkie-talkies, megaphones, flares, bells, gestures and text chat are part of the puzzle design.

Reliable facts at a glance

Big Walk launched on August 4, 2026 for Windows, Mac, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2. It supports crossplay for 2 to 12 players. Progress is saved automatically by the host, so the same host is needed to continue that journey.
