Big Walk Sells One Million Copies in Six Days Despite Being 'Free' on PS Plus

Big Walk, the co-op adventure from House House — the studio behind Untitled Goose Game — has sold more than one million copies in just six days, publisher Panic announced Monday. The milestone is striking not only for its speed but for what it excludes: the game is also included in PlayStation Plus Essential for August, meaning the million sales came almost entirely from Steam and Nintendo Switch 2, where the game is not available free.

Talk-and-Walk Co-op With a 92 Metacritic

Big Walk is a multiplayer-only game that asks players to explore a vast world while solving puzzles and chatting with friends; it currently holds a 92 Metacritic score, one of the highest of 2026. It sits second on Steam's Top Sellers list — below the Steam Machine, the long-awaited handheld from Valve — and first on Switch 2's download-only chart, according to VGC. The game draws more than 30,000 daily concurrent players on PC, per SteamDB.

Panic, the indie publisher known for the Playdate handheld, wrote on X: "In just six days, over one million of you have bought Big Walk, our co-op adventure about talking and walking. We are so grateful that so many of you are spending time with our game." The game includes crossplay, so players on PC, Switch 2 and PS5 can roam together regardless of platform — a design choice analysts say has amplified word-of-mouth among friend groups, helping the game punch far above its indie marketing budget.
