Can you play Big Walk alone or with randoms?
Big Walk cannot be meaningfully played alone because its puzzles require cooperation, although players can enter the world solo to explore its scenery. The game also has no matchmaking system, so it does not pair players with strangers; this makes arranging a group in advance necessary.
The co-operative adventure comes from the creators of Untitled Goose Game and is set in a loosely structured open world. Players can host or join sessions using a code supplied by the host, which is the only option for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 users. Steam players can alternatively join friends through the in-game friends list if there is room in the session.
In short
- Big Walk’s puzzles require co-operation.
- There is no matchmaking with random players.
- Join friends by session code or Steam list.
