It is a cooperative adventure built around staying together, getting lost and finding creative ways to communicate.\n\nThat makes your first session important. A little preparation can prevent technical confusion, protect your group’s progress and help everyone experience Big Walk as intended.\n\nThis spoiler-light beginner guide explains how hosting works, how many people can play, how to join friends across different platforms and which habits will make your first expedition more enjoyable.\n\n## Big Walk quick answers\n\n| Question | Answer |\n| --------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |\n| How many people can play? | 2-12 players |\n| Can you play solo? | You can walk around briefly, but the adventure is designed for multiplayer |\n| Does Big Walk have crossplay? | Yes |\n| Is there random matchmaking? | No |\n| Is a microphone required? | No; proximity-based text chat is also available |\n| Who stores the save? | The host |\n| Does progress save automatically? | Yes |\n| Which platforms are supported? | Windows, Mac, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 |\n\nBig Walk is available on Steam for Windows and Mac, the Mac App Store, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2. It supports groups of two to twelve players, with crossplay between supported systems.\n\n## 1. Choose your host carefully\n\nBefore anybody starts exploring, decide which player should host the session.\n\nThe host is the keeper of the group’s save. Big Walk automatically stores progress for the host, and that same person will generally need to host again when the group wants to continue its adventure.\n\nWhen the host ends the session, everyone else is disconnected. For that reason, the best host is not necessarily the person with the fastest computer or the most gaming experience. Choose someone who:\n\n* Is likely to attend most sessions\n* Has a stable internet connection\n* Can reliably organize the group\n* Is comfortable being responsible for the main save\n\nChanging which friend hosts later will not simply move the existing adventure to that person. Agreeing on a dependable host at the beginning can prevent a great deal of frustration.\n\n## 2. Pick the right world version\n\nWhenever the host starts a session, they choose one of three versions of the world:\n\n* A two-player version\n* A three-player version\n* A four-or-more-player version\n\nThis choice is better understood as the minimum dependable group size, not the maximum number of friends who may join."}
