Steam rating at launch
Big Walk launched as “Very Positive” on Steam, with roughly 180 positive and 38 negative reviews in the first two days. Positive reviews describe a chill, cozy co-op walk with friends; negative reports focus on connection issues, quiet voice chat, and performance. Those topics are covered in the voice chat guide and the crossplay guide.
Does Big Walk support crossplay?
Yes. The official FAQ confirms crossplay between players on different systems. A mixed group can use a Join Code when platform friends lists do not connect everyone directly. See the complete crossplay and hosting guide.
