  4. Is there a PS4 version?

Yes. Big Walk is available on PlayStation 5. House House lists PS5 alongside Windows, Mac and Nintendo Switch 2, and the game has an official PlayStation Store page. It released on August 4, 2026 rather than remaining a PC-only project.

Does the PS5 version have crossplay?

Yes. A PS5 player can join friends on Steam, the Mac App Store or Nintendo Switch 2. One player hosts the session, and mixed-platform groups connect with the Join Code shown in the host menu or under Session Details after the world loads.

Friends connected through PlayStation services may see an active friend game automatically. The Join Code is still useful when that listing does not appear or when the host is on another platform.

Player count on PlayStation 5

The same 2–12 player range applies. The host selects the two-player, three-player or four-plus version of the world. Big Walk does not provide random matchmaking, so organize the group before starting.

The host also keeps the shared save. If the PS5 owner hosts the first session, that person needs to host again when the group wants to continue from the same progress.

PS5 voice chat troubleshooting

Big Walk uses in-game voice and text chat as part of its design. If no one can hear voice chat on PS5, the official troubleshooting guide points to a system-level mute:

  1. Press the PS Button.
  2. Open Sound using the speaker icon.
  3. Make sure Mute Game Voice Chat is turned off.
  4. Return to Big Walk and check microphone activity under Settings > Audio.

Use headphones to reduce feedback. Players can also complete the game with in-game text chat, which preserves the distance and obstacle rules used by voice chat.

Is there a PS4 version?

No PS4 version appears in the official platform list. The console release is specifically for PlayStation 5. Crossplay does not make a PS4 compatible with a PS5-only application.

Before purchasing, open the PlayStation Store page for the current regional price and any account or online-play requirements shown for your territory. Those commercial details can change more quickly than the game’s core platform support.
