Big Walk launches to critical acclaim, but its signature voice chat is broken

House House's co-op adventure Big Walk launched 5 August 2026 on PC, PS5, and Switch 2 to a Metacritic metascore of 94 — the highest of 2026. But proximity-based voice chat, the feature the game is built around, has a bug making some players' voices too quiet. House House apologised in a blog update and said it is working on a fix, with no timeline given.
