Is Big Walk Crossplay? Yes.
Big Walk supports crossplay. Players on different systems can play together. The official FAQ confirms it: "Sure! Big Walk has crossplay support, so players on different systems can play together."
This means whether you're on PC, PS5, or Nintendo Switch 2, you can team up with friends on another platform and play the full cooperative adventure together.
What Platforms Does Big Walk Support?
Big Walk is available on:
- Windows and Mac via Steam and the Mac App Store
- PlayStation 5
- Nintendo Switch 2
No other platforms are planned at this time. All of these platforms are able to play together thanks to crossplay.
How Cross-Platform Co-Op Works
Joining a friend's Big Walk game is simple, and there are two ways to do it:
- Friends list: If your friend is on your friends list on the platform you're on (like Steam or a console), their hosted game should automatically appear in a menu of active friend games.
- Join Code: If you aren't friends on a friends list, you can join anyone with a Join Code. A Join Code is a short, unique code generated every time the host starts a session. The host shares the code with you so you can join.
To control who joins, the developers recommend setting a password that you share only with the people you intend to play with.
Voice and Text Chat Across Platforms
Big Walk is built around communication. It uses in-game voice chat and in-game text chat, which work the same way in co-op. The text chat has the same intentional limitations as voice chat — for example, your text won't be readable when you're far away or on opposite sides of soundproof glass, and it works with in-game items like walkie-talkies.
You can play the whole game with either voice or text chat, or a mix, whichever works best for your group.
Player Count and Co-Op Focus
Big Walk is designed for groups. With fewer players it's a more focused co-op experience; as you get closer to 12 players it becomes a fun, chaotic mess — but it's good no matter how many people you're playing with. The game is entirely about teamwork and talking, so playing with people you know (or want to know) is the intended experience.
The Bottom Line
If you're wondering "is Big Walk cross-platform?" — the answer is a clear yes. Crossplay is built in, so you and your friends can play together regardless of platform. Just pick up the game, share a Join Code or use your friends list, and start your big walk.
