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.
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.
Does Big Walk have cross-progression or cross-save?
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.
Does Big Walk have crossplay?
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.
Is Discord required for voice chat in Big Walk?
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.
