Yes — Big Walk is on PlayStation Plus for August 2026. The PS5 version is one of the month's PlayStation Plus Monthly Games, available to add to your library from August 4 through August 31, 2026.
This is the important distinction: Big Walk is a Monthly Game, not merely a trial or a temporary entry in the Extra/Premium Game Catalog. Sony's official August announcement lists it alongside Dying Light 2 Stay Human: Reloaded Edition and Signalis.
For PS5 hardware support, online requirements, PS4 availability and trophies after the monthly offer ends, use the Big Walk PS5 guide.

How to claim Big Walk with PS Plus
- Sign in on a PS5 or the PlayStation Store with an active PlayStation Plus membership.
- Open the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games section between August 4 and August 31.
- Select Big Walk | PS5 and add it to your library.
- Download it immediately or leave it in your library for later.
Do not wait until September to add it: the claim window closes after August 31. If you already bought the PS5 version, the monthly offer does not create a separate edition or extra in-game content.
Can PS Plus players join friends on Steam or Switch 2?
Yes. Big Walk has full crossplay, so the PS Plus copy can join the same sessions as friends using Steam on Windows or Mac, the Mac App Store, or Nintendo Switch 2. A host can invite platform friends or share a Join Code.
Every player still needs access to the game on their own device. Big Walk does not support local or split-screen co-op, and the official FAQ recommends that players avoid sitting in the same room because its proximity chat is part of the puzzle design. The crossplay and multiplayer guide explains hosting, Join Codes and group saves.
Is Big Walk worth claiming?
Claim it if there is any chance your group will play. It supports 2–12 online players, but there is no single-player campaign and no public matchmaking. You need at least one friend, and the host keeps the shared save.
Before organizing a large group, check the player-count guide for the 2, 3 and 4+ world settings. For every storefront and the current purchase options, use the release date and price guide.
