Big Walk is a cooperative online adventure from House House, the studio behind Untitled Goose Game, published by Panic. You explore a wide, open world with friends, solving puzzles and staying in touch through an assortment of tools while you cover ground together at your own pace.
Quick answer: Big Walk runs on Windows and macOS, supports 2 to 12 players with crossplay, and is built around proximity voice chat. It launched on August 4, 2026, at $19.99, with an introductory 25 percent discount ($14.99) that ends August 18.
What Big Walk is
The core loop is talking and walking. You and your group navigate an open world, work out routes, and communicate as you go. At points you lose the ability to speak and have to find other ways to get your meaning across, which is where gestures and physical tools come in.
It is a hand-crafted adventure meant to be played from start to finish with a group. There is also plenty of downtime built in. You can sit and watch a sunset, or grab a friend’s binoculars and kick them into the ocean.
Proximity voice chat, arms, and tools
Communication is the standout system. The proximity voice chat makes voices fade with distance, echo down corridors, muffle through walls, and crackle over walkie-talkies. When you cannot talk, you point, wave, and gesture with your arms to get a message across.
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Talking | Proximity voice chat that fades over distance, echoes, muffles through walls, and crackles on walkie-talkies |
| Walking | Navigate an open world together at your own pace |
| Arms | Point, wave, and gesture to communicate when talking isn’t possible |
| Tools and toys | Walkie-talkies, laser pointers, binoculars, megaphones, flares, whiteboards, cowbells, a big golden head, and more |
Player count, crossplay, and platforms
Group size is flexible. You can run a focused session with as few as 2 players, or push it up to 12 for a much messier experience. Crossplay lets you play online with friends on other platforms, and the game includes online co-op, cross-platform multiplayer, Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud, and Family Sharing.
Big Walk has a defined ending, so it is designed to be completed as a group rather than left open indefinitely. It ships with 12 Steam Achievements and interface support for 14 languages, including English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese.
