Big Walk Hits 1 Million in Six Days — Already Free for PS Plus Subscribers

House House’s cooperative open-world adventure Big Walk has crossed one million sales in just six days — and if you’re a PS Plus Essential subscriber in Singapore, there’s a good chance you already own it.

One Million Walkers in Six Days

Publisher Panic announced the milestone on Bluesky on 10 August, stating: “In just six days, over one million of you have bought Big Walk, our co-op adventure all about talking and walking. We are so grateful that so many of you are spending time with our game.”

That figure includes copies sold across PS5, Switch 2, and PC — and also encompasses PlayStation Plus downloads. Big Walk was one of August 2026’s PS Plus Essential free games, so a portion of that million came from subscribers grabbing it at no extra cost. Still, the speed is remarkable: House House’s previous title, Untitled Goose Game, needed three months to clear the same mark.

Six Years in the Making — and the Reviews Show It

Big Walk is the third game from Melbourne studio House House (after Push Me Pull You and Untitled Goose Game) and took six years to develop. It’s a cooperative open-world adventure built for 2–12 players exploring a richly detailed island environment together: solving puzzles, using proximity voice chat, walkie-talkies, binoculars, and fireworks to communicate and navigate across day-night cycles.

Critics have responded warmly. The PC version sits at 92/100 on Metacritic (Universal Acclaim), making it the highest-rated game of 2026 on the platform so far, ahead of major releases like Resident Evil Requiem and Forza Horizon 6. The PS5 version scores 88/100. Switch 2 reviews are a notch lower at 75/100, which is worth noting if you’re deciding which version to buy.

Already in Your Library If You’re on PS Plus

For PS Plus Essential subscribers in Singapore, Big Walk is part of the August 2026 monthly lineup and can be claimed until the games rotate out next month. Once claimed, it’s yours to keep as long as your subscription is active.

If you’d rather own it outright — or you’re on PC or Switch 2 — Big Walk is priced at US$19.99 on Steam, Epic Games Store, and the Nintendo eShop. No SGD pricing has been confirmed at time of writing; check the Singapore PlayStation Store and Nintendo eShop for local pricing before buying.

House House is also running a Reddit AMA this week featuring developers Jake, Stuart, Nico, and Michael for anyone curious about what six years of making a walking game actually looks like. Browse more game news here.
