Big Walk, the cooperative puzzle game from House House (the studio behind Untitled Goose Game), launches August 4 on PS5, PC, Mac, and Switch 2. The price is reasonable compared to most new releases, and PS5 owners have a genuinely good reason to feel smug about this one.
How much does Big Walk cost?
The base price sits at $19.99 across all platforms. That's consistent whether you're buying on Steam, the Nintendo eShop, or the PlayStation Store. No platform charges a premium over the others at the standard rate.
Steam is running a 25% launch discount for the first few weeks after release, which brings the price down noticeably. The Nintendo eShop does not have a comparable launch discount at this time, so Switch 2 players pay full price from day one. Those prices are subject to regional variation, so what you see at checkout may differ slightly depending on your location.
Can you play Big Walk for free?
Yes, but only on PS5. PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers get Big Walk as a day-one addition to the service at no extra cost. That means if you already pay the $10.99 monthly PS Plus Essential fee, Big Walk is included without spending anything additional.
This is a bigger deal than it sounds. PS Plus doesn't land many significant day-one additions, so Big Walk joining the service at launch is worth highlighting. The game is not coming to Xbox at launch, so there's no Game Pass equivalent to compare it against here.
Big Walk platform options
If you don't currently subscribe, $10.99 for a month of PS Plus gets you Big Walk plus online multiplayer access and the rest of the monthly lineup. That's a straightforward value calculation for anyone on the fence.
Platform pricing at a glance
What do you get for $19.99?
Big Walk is a cooperative adventure game from House House, the same studio that shipped Untitled Goose Game. The game features puzzles and challenges designed around co-op play, with multiple players working through the experience together. The $19.99 price point puts it well below the standard $60-70 AAA release, which makes the PS Plus inclusion feel even more generous.
After spending time with the available information on Big Walk's structure, the pricing feels appropriate for what House House typically delivers: focused, well-crafted experiences that don't overstay their welcome.

Is Big Walk worth buying if you're not on PS5?
$19.99 on Steam with a 25% launch discount makes the PC version the second-best deal available. Switch 2 players pay full price with no discount, which is the least favorable option purely on price, though portability has its own value.
The honest answer is that $19.99 (or less with the Steam discount) is a low barrier for a game from a studio with a proven track record. The PS Plus situation makes it a no-brainer for PS5 owners, but the price isn't punishing for anyone else either.
