Big Walk Crossplay: Supported Platforms & How It Works

Yes, Big Walk crossplay is supported. Players on PC, Mac, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2 can all play together in the same online cooperative sessions using join codes or friend lists, with no random matchmaking involved.

Which Platforms Support Big Walk Crossplay?

Big Walk is available on PC and Mac via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2, and it is easy to play with people across these platforms. Because all of them share the same multiplayer system, crossplay is a built-in feature rather than a separate mode you have to enable.

This means a friend on a console can join a session hosted on a computer, and vice versa. The platform you choose does not lock you out of playing with a specific group, as long as everyone is on one of the supported systems.

How to Join a Crossplay Session

The host receives a code once they start the game, and that code appears on the bottom left of the "Host Game" page. You then input the code, given to you by the host, once you are in the "Join Game" menu, and you enter the game from there.

This join code method is the most reliable way to bring a cross-platform group together, because it does not depend on a shared platform friend list. Players on different systems can still connect as long as the host shares the current code.

• Host gets a code on the "Host Game" page (bottom left)
• Enter the code in the "Join Game" menu
• Code sharing works across all supported platforms

Matching Version Numbers for Crossplay

When playing across platforms, it is more reliable to compare the first two parts of both version numbers before joining. Matching those version components first helps avoid failed joins that might otherwise be mistaken for a crossplay problem.

A failed join is not automatically proof that crossplay is blocked. Checking version compatibility up front saves time and separates genuine crossplay issues from simple version mismatches.

• Compare the first two version number components
• Do this before attempting a cross-platform join
• A failed join is not always a crossplay limitation

Friend List and Crossplay Limitations

On the Join Game page, Big Walk automatically pulls your friends list into the game, and people playing on the same platform who are on your friend list will show up there. You can join straight from that list, but this same-platform route is most useful when everyone is on one system.

For friends on a different platform, the join code method is the better fit, since the friend list view is oriented toward same-platform connections. Understanding both routes keeps crossplay setup simple.

• Friend list is pulled in automatically on the Join Game page
• Same-platform friends can be joined directly
• Use a join code for friends on other platforms

No Crossplay Matchmaking

There is no online matchmaking in Big Walk, which applies to crossplay as well. The game will not automatically pair you with unknown players across platforms, so you must arrange your cross-platform group in advance.

Treat one known partner on another system as the practical starting point for any crossplay plan. Until official matchmaking is announced, every successful cross-platform session depends on players you can invite directly through a host, code, or friend list.

• No automatic cross-platform pairing
• Arrange the group before launching
• One known cross-platform partner is the minimum
