What you get in Big Walk
Big Walk is a cooperative “walker-talker” from House House, the Melbourne studio behind Untitled Goose Game. A group explores a wide-open bushland world together, solving puzzles and making discoveries at a relaxed pace. Communication is the core mechanic, and much of the challenge comes from finding ways to stay in contact.
The game uses a proximity voice chat system, so voices fade with distance, echo down corridors, muffle through walls, and crackle through walkie-talkies. When talking isn’t an option, players lean on gestures and a spread of tools, including laser pointers, binoculars, megaphones, flares, and whiteboards.
- Player count from 2 (focused co-op) up to 12
- Crossplay across supported platforms
- A hand-crafted adventure with a defined ending, built to play start to finish with a group
Where to get Big Walk
Each version has its own storefront listing. You can wishlist or set up the download ahead of time so it installs the moment the August 4 unlock hits.

Big Walk was first revealed at The Game Awards in December 2023, followed by a gameplay showing in June 2025 and, later, a delay into 2026 alongside the console announcements. The August 4 date is the final confirmed launch, and there is nothing left to wait on beyond the timer.
