Big Walk, the co-op adventure game from House House, the studio behind Untitled Goose Game, has sold over one million copies in just six days since its launch on August 4, 2026. The game, published by Panic, has also become the highest-rated game of 2026 on Metacritic with a score of 92, based on 22 reviews, ahead of Forza Horizon 6 and Mina The Hollower.
Sales Milestone and Publisher Response
Panic confirmed the sales milestone in a post on X, expressing gratitude to players. 'We are so grateful that so many of you are spending time with our game,' the post reads. 'And we deeply appreciate your fanart, your streams, and your moments. Thank you for playing.'
The figure is particularly impressive as it does not include downloads via PS Plus. Big Walk is currently available to PS Plus Essential subscribers on PlayStation 5 at no extra cost in August, meaning most PS5 players have likely accessed it through that service. The game is also available on PC, where it ranks third on Steam's top sellers, and on Nintendo Switch 2, where it is fourth on the eShop, suggesting the bulk of the million sales come from those platforms.
Comparison with Other Indie and AAA Hits
Big Walk's performance echoes last year's indie co-op hit Peak, which also surpassed one million copies in six days and went on to sell over 10 million copies in two months. However, it falls short of Hollow Knight: Silksong, which sold over 3 million copies in three days on Steam alone, and Meccha Chameleon, which achieved three million sales in a week, making it the biggest breakthrough of 2026 so far.
Despite this, Big Walk's sales rival some AAA titles. Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced sold three million in its first week, while Capcom's Pragmata sold 2.5 million copies in 16 days. According to estimates, Meccha Chameleon remains the highest-selling game of 2026 with over 15 million copies sold, ahead of EA Sports FC 26, Resident Evil Requiem, and Forza Horizon 6.
Critical Reception and Availability
Big Walk earned a 9/10 in a review, described as 'one of the best releases of the year'. The game's co-op puzzle gameplay in an open world has resonated with players and critics alike. With its current sales trajectory, Big Walk is set to become another major success for indie developers, demonstrating the continued appeal of innovative, cooperative experiences.
