PlayStation has announced its first day-one PlayStation Plus game of 2026. The game, Big Walk, is a PS5 exclusive and will be available to all PS Plus subscribers when it launches sometime this year.
Big Walk is a co-op multiplayer adventure developed by Australian studio House House and Panic. Players explore an open-world filled with puzzles, challenges, and discoveries. Teamwork and communication are central to the gameplay, but the game’s ultimate objectives remain a mystery.
The game marks House House’s first PS5 title. The studio is best known for Untitled Goose Game, which sold over a million copies and earned two Game Awards nominations. Fans can expect similar humor, creativity, and charm in Big Walk.
All PlayStation Plus tiers—Essential, Extra, and Premium—will get access to the game. PS Plus Essential costs $6.66 per month when paid annually or $9.99 monthly. Subscribers will claim Big Walk through the Monthly Games lineup.
The release date for Big Walk has not been announced. Previous House House games were priced between $15 and $20, so the PS Plus free offering could save subscribers around $25 to $30 if purchased at launch.
This move sets PlayStation apart from Xbox Game Pass, which offers dozens of day-one titles each year but requires a $30 monthly subscription. PlayStation’s strategy offers at least one free launch game for subscribers, adding value for fans.
With its quirky design, cooperative gameplay, and House House’s track record, Big Walk is already generating excitement among PS5 owners. Fans will be keeping an eye out for the release date and more gameplay details.
