Big Walk PC and PS5 Crossplay Guide
PC, Mac and PS5 players can play together using crossplay and an active join code. They should enable crossplay and match the first two game-version numbers.
The useful answer
PC, Mac and PS5 players can play together using crossplay and an active join code. They should enable crossplay and match the first two game-version numbers.
Step by step
- Enable crossplay on both systems.
- Have the host enter the world.
- Share the active code.
- Compare versions and system time if the connection fails.
Why players get stuck here
Platform friends lists do not cross systems, so use the code instead of waiting for the other player to appear as a friend.
What crossplay does—and does not—share
Crossplay lets Windows, Mac and PS5 players occupy the same hosted world. It does not transfer ownership of that world or create cross-progression: the original host still loads the save next time. Use in-game voice or text so proximity, walls and communication tools behave consistently across platforms.
If only the PS5 player fails, also confirm Mute Game Voice Chat is off after the connection issue is resolved.
Verify it before moving on
Before inviting everyone, agree on the host, world size, voice or text preference and the next session time. Those four details prevent most groups from losing progress or creating a world they cannot continue.
