Big Walk's minimum Windows requirements list 12 GB of RAM, 64-bit Windows 10, an Intel Core i7-7700K or AMD Ryzen 5 1600X, and a GTX 750 Ti, Radeon R7 370, or Intel Arc A380.
Big Walk is available on Mac through Steam and the Mac App Store. Steam lists Apple silicon and macOS 15, with an M1 as the minimum and an M3 recommended.
The specifications below come from the official Steam page. Big Walk is now available, Valve has marked it Steam Deck Verified, and the PC and Mac storage requirement remains unlisted. Performance targets that House House has not published should still not be guessed.
Big Walk minimum PC requirements
The official minimum Windows requirements are:
- Operating system: Windows 10, 64-bit
- Processor: Intel Core i7-7700K or AMD Ryzen 5 1600X
- Memory: 12 GB RAM
- Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti with 2 GB, AMD Radeon R7 370 with 2 GB, or Intel Arc A380 with 6 GB
- Storage: Not listed
These are the parts House House considers the starting point for the PC version. Steam does not say what resolution, graphics preset, or frame rate this hardware is expected to deliver.
Steam's minimum tier combines the listed processor, memory, and graphics requirements. A PC needs to meet all three; one stronger component does not replace another component that falls below the published minimum.
Big Walk recommended PC requirements
The official recommended Windows requirements are:
- Operating system: Windows 11, 64-bit
- Processor: Intel Core i5-10600K or AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
- Memory: 16 GB RAM
- Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 with 8 GB, AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT (memory discrepancy explained below), or Intel Arc A750 with 8 GB
- Storage: Not listed
The recommended tier raises system memory to 16 GB. There is a discrepancy in the graphics list: Big Walk’s store listing pairs the RX 5600 XT with 8 GB, but AMD specifies 6 GB for that card. Do not treat the listing as proof that an 8 GB RX 5600 XT exists or as a tested performance guarantee.
Steam does not attach a frame-rate, resolution, or graphics-preset promise to the recommended tier. Matching the listed hardware therefore does not guarantee 60 fps or 1440p in every area.
Can your PC run Big Walk?
Start by checking four parts of your computer: Windows version, processor, installed RAM, and graphics card. On Windows, open Settings, choose System, and then open About to see the processor, RAM, and system type. The graphics card appears under Display adapters in Device Manager or in the Performance section of Task Manager.
A computer that matches or beats every minimum component should meet the published entry point. Mixed hardware needs a little more care. For example, a modern graphics card does not make up for having less than 12 GB of RAM, and a strong processor does not replace the need for a supported GPU.
Laptop component names can be misleading because mobile graphics chips sometimes perform differently from desktop cards with a similar name. If Big Walk runs slowly, House House recommends lowering Render Scale first, then Quality in Settings > Graphics, and raising Render Scale again gradually.
If everyone sees players moving in jumps or hears voices cutting out, check the host’s performance too. A low frame rate on the host’s computer can affect the session. First ask the host to lower graphics settings; this lets the group keep using the same saved world. Connection problems can cause similar symptoms, so also pause heavy downloads and try a wired connection where possible.
How much storage does Big Walk need?
The PC and Mac storage requirement is still not listed on Steam. Any site giving an exact computer download size without a direct official source may be using a placeholder or estimate.
Nintendo lists a 3.8 GB download for the Switch 2 version, but that number should not be copied across to PC or Mac. Different platforms can use different file packaging, compression, updates, and optional data. Keep more free space than the final download size because Steam may need temporary room while installing or patching the game.
Does Big Walk run on Mac?
Yes. Big Walk is available on Mac through Steam and the Mac App Store.
The minimum Mac requirements are:
- Operating system: macOS 15
- Processor: Apple M1 or newer
- Memory: 16 GB RAM
The recommended Mac requirements are:
- Operating system: macOS 15
- Processor: Apple M3 or newer
- Memory: 16 GB RAM
Steam lists Apple silicon rather than Intel Mac processors. An older Intel-based Mac is therefore outside the published requirements, even if it can install macOS 15.
Is Big Walk verified for Steam Deck?
Yes. Big Walk is Steam Deck Verified. Valve's current compatibility report says the default controller setup works correctly, the game shows the right controller icons, its interface text is readable, and the default graphics configuration performs properly on Steam Deck.
Verified does not guarantee the same frame rate in every scene or prevent future updates from changing performance. Players should still install current game and SteamOS updates before troubleshooting a new issue.
Linux support is not listed either. The official computer platforms are Windows and macOS.
Does Big Walk support controllers?
Yes. House House says the computer version supports most game controllers, as well as mouse and keyboard. Controls can be rebound, which should make it easier for players to adjust the layout before joining a long group session.
What should you check before buying?
Use Steam's official list rather than automated requirements pages that may show placeholder hardware. Big Walk's current Windows minimum is 12 GB RAM plus the listed CPU and GPU tier.
Before buying Big Walk on computer, confirm:
- Your Windows installation is 64-bit, or your Mac uses Apple silicon
- You have at least 12 GB RAM on Windows or 16 GB on Mac
- Your processor and graphics card meet the official minimum tier
- You have enough extra space for installation and patches because Steam still lists no official storage requirement
- Your group has at least two players, because Big Walk is built for online co-op
Once your computer is ready, use the Big Walk Beginner Guide for the first session, the Multiplayer Guide for hosting and crossplay, and the Voice and Text Chat Guide if a microphone or proximity chat is not working. The Tower Walkthrough and Items and Tools Guide cover the main route and equipment after your group starts exploring.
