Same platform? Use the friends list
When both players use the same friends service, the host’s live session can appear in the friend games list, so no code is needed.

All currently released versions support crossplay with one another.
Whichever two platforms you pick, a Join Code works — it does not depend on a shared friends list.
Platform availability checked Sep 2026. Crossplay itself is already supported across every released version.
Is Big Walk on Xbox?
No. The released versions are Windows, Mac, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2, with no other platform version currently planned.
That is a platform-availability status rather than a crossplay answer: there is no Xbox build to connect from.
How Do Cross-Platform Friends Join?
Mixed-platform groups have one universal route: the Join Code from the session that is running right now.
1
The host starts a session
2
The host loads into the world
3
The host shares the current Join Code
4
The friend enters the code
5
Join
Where is the Join Code?
The host reads it from the session they are running now, and shares that code with the group.
Full Join Code InstructionsMac App Store has no game friends list at all, so those players always join with the Join Code.
Check Multiplayer Version Compatibility
Big Walk version numbers have three parts, for example 1.5.1. Multiplayer only needs the first two parts to match, so 1.5.1 and 1.5.3 are fine together.
Rule: 3 parts, the first 2 must match. This checks Big Walk’s official version-number rule. It does not diagnose every possible connection problem.
Still can’t join? Open the Troubleshooter →Crossplay Preferences Must Be Compatible
If the game reports this message, the platforms are supported — the crossplay setting is what differs between the two devices.
“You are trying to join a game session with different crossplay preferences than yours.”
- 1. Open Settings on both devices
- 2. Check the crossplay preference
- 3. Make the two settings compatible
- 4. Retry the session that is running now
Before You Join
Four checks cover almost every crossplay join that fails for no obvious reason.
Crossplay Not Connecting?
A supported platform pair can still fail to meet. Start with the reason that catches the most sessions.
Can’t See the Cross-Platform Session?
Make sure the host has actually entered the world. A session still sitting in the menu does not appear to anyone, and two players waiting at the menu will each think crossplay is broken.
Online-service errors, wrong system time, restarts and network checks are diagnosed on the troubleshooter instead.
Open the Multiplayer TroubleshooterConnected, But the Puzzle Looks Different?
Your platform does not change puzzle layouts. The host’s world setting does — some challenges have separate 2-player, 3-player and 4+ versions.

- Multiplayer TroubleshooterMatch an official error message and follow the fix for it.
- Player Count & World SettingSessions hold 2–12 players. The 2 / 3 / 4+ setting is chosen separately and changes some puzzles.
- Hosting & SavesCrossplay does not change save ownership. The host keeps the save, so the same host continues that journey.
