Big Walk FAQ (JA)
Steam launch discount live — 25% off ($14.99 / €14.24) until Aug 11, 2026
Items
Are all Big Walk item locations known?
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.
Are the flashlight and torch the same item?
Yes. Players commonly search for “flashlight”, while the released build uses TorchProp naming. Both terms refer to the same portable light item.
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.
What are world objects in Big Walk?
The world-object index covers data-derived object families such as gourds, key pieces, radios, signal flags, buoys, telescopes, microphones and volleyballs. Their presence is supported by the release build, while exact puzzle roles remain clearly labelled as unverified.
What does the walkie-talkie do in Big Walk?
The walkie-talkie changes how separated players communicate. Official sources confirm its crackling voice treatment and say text chat can use it too. An exact maximum range has not been published, so the wiki does not present an invented distance.
What items are in Big Walk?
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.
Technical
Can I play Big Walk on Steam Deck?
There is no official Steam Deck verification yet. House House has not announced a Verified or Playable status, and the Steam listing lists Windows and macOS only. The minimum PC spec is modest (12 GB RAM, GTX 750 Ti), so the game may run through Proton, but official compatibility is unconfirmed — check Valve's store badge before buying on Deck.
Where is Big Walk's save file located?
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).
Platforms
Can I play Big Walk on the Mac App Store?
Yes. The official site lists a Mac App Store version at $14.99. It does not support Game Center, so use a Join Code to play with friends on other platforms.
Multiplayer
Can I play Big Walk solo?
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.
Can I play Big Walk without a microphone?
Yes. In-game text chat follows the same distance and environmental restrictions as voice chat.
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.
Does Big Walk have random matchmaking?
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.
Does Big Walk have split-screen or local co-op?
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.
How do I join friends on another platform in Big Walk?
Use the short Join Code generated when the host starts a session. The host can find it in the host menu before starting, or under Session Details after the session begins.
How many players can join a Big Walk party?
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.
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.
Is there an official Big Walk Discord?
No official Big Walk Discord server has been announced as of August 5, 2026. Fan-run servers exist but are not officially affiliated, and the developers still discourage using external voice apps during play.
What are the 2, 3 and 4+ player world choices?
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.
Purchase
Do I need PS Plus for Big Walk?
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.
How much does Big Walk cost?
Big Walk launched at $19.99 on August 4, 2026 across Steam, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2. The Mac App Store version costs $14.99.

Saves
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.
Gameplay
How long is Big Walk?
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.
Is there a Big Walk walkthrough?
Not yet. The wiki publishes item, object and system evidence first, and adds walkthrough-style routes only after they can be reproduced in the released game.
Buying
Is Big Walk free?
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); Steam launched with a 25% launch-week discount (see the promo banner for current status).
