Big Walk sells 1 million copies in a week, outpacing Untitled Goose Game's launch
House House's co-op open-world puzzler reached 1 million sales within a week, a faster start than Untitled Goose Game reached in three months.
What happened
Big Walk has sold 1 million copies since launching a week ago, its publisher announced. The co-op-only open world puzzler reached that figure faster than House House's previous breakthrough, Untitled Goose Game, which took three months to hit one million sales.
The milestone is notable given Big Walk's current distribution: it is a monthly free PlayStation Plus game and is also available on Nintendo Switch 2. That means a substantial portion of players on PlayStation may have accessed the game without buying a copy.
How it stacks up against other 2026 indies
Compared with other breakout indies in 2026, Big Walk's week-long run is strong but not the fastest. Meccha Chameleon sold 1 million copies in four days and is a PC exclusive. Mewgenics reached 1 million copies in eight days and is also a PC exclusive. By contrast, Mina the Hollower took 11 days to sell 500,000 copies across all major platforms. In that context, Big Walk is a big hit, though not at the very top of 2026's fastest-selling indies.
Why this matters for co-op design
Big Walk is co-op-only and does not offer matchmaking, which makes its commercial performance noteworthy. Reviews have been unanimously positive, and coverage has pointed out that the game leans into relaxed, free-ranging cooperative play rather than frictionless online matchmaking. That reception suggests there is still an audience for co-op experiences that emphasise local or friend-based play rather than large-scale, automatically matched multiplayer.
What to watch next
Publisher-announced sales milestones and platform distribution will shape how studios and platform holders view co-op-only indies going forward. Watch for further confirmation from the publisher about platform breakdowns or longer-term sales trends, and for whether Big Walk's model—co-op only, available via PlayStation Plus and on Nintendo Switch 2—influences other studios' release and distribution choices.
