BIG WALK FIELD NOTES

Meeting up / Crossplay

Crossplay works—version numbers still matter

The official FAQ confirms crossplay across the supported systems. A group can mix platforms as long as the first two numbers of every installed version match.

What the official guidance confirms

  • Supported releases include Windows and Mac via Steam, Mac App Store, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
  • For a version such as 1.2.3, only 1.2 needs to match across the group; the third number may differ.
  • The host still needs to load first, even in a mixed-platform group.
  • Use a join code when platform friend discovery is unavailable or unreliable.
