Big Walk Release Date — When Does It Come Out?
✔ Last checked: 2026-08-12
Big Walk came out on August 4, 2026 — it’s out now. It’s the cooperative game from House House, the Melbourne studio behind Untitled Goose Game, published by Panic.
The launch went well: Panic announced over one million copies sold in the first six days, and the game holds a Very Positive rating on Steam alongside some of 2026’s best review scores (full roundup).
House House has already shipped its first post-launch patch, version 1.4.8 on August 7, addressing complaints that in-game voices were too quiet — while deliberately leaving the proximity range alone (details).

What kind of game is it?
House House calls Big Walk a cooperative online walker-talker: 2 to 12 friends explore a big open world together, and the entire game is built around talking to each other — through in-game voice or text chat. It’s a complete, hand-crafted adventure with a real ending, not a live-service game. Expect 8–12 hours for the main route (how long to beat).
