What Is Big Walk?

Big Walk is described by its publisher as a cooperative online walker-talker from the creators of Untitled Goose Game. It is a hand-crafted cooperative adventure with an ending, built around teamwork and talking rather than a traditional story. Players set out with friends through a wide-open world full of challenges, puzzles, and discoveries. The world is based on the bush of Wilsons Promontory National Park in Australia.

The game has no single-player mode. Big Walk can be played with as few as 2 players or as many as 12, and supports crossplay between platforms. It is also included in the PlayStation Plus Essential tier on PlayStation 5.

Quick verdict from review coverage: Big Walk holds a 94 Metacritic score on PC as of August 4, 2026, making it one of the highest-scored games of the year at launch.
