The new game “Big Walk” launched by House House, the developer of Untitled Goose Game, has sold more than 1 million units in just 6 days since its launch. The official announced this achievement on August 10. Compared with the previous game, which took about 3 months to reach one million sales, “Big Walk” was almost completed at a sprint speed this time. It is indeed a bit unethical for an independent game to suddenly become like this.
Not only does it sell well, but it also ranks first in reviews!
“Big Walk” is a puzzle and exploration game that focuses on multiplayer cooperation. Players can explore the island and solve puzzles with 2 to 12 people. The current game is not only selling well, but its evaluation on Metacritic has become the highest-scoring and best-reviewed game in 2026, even surpassing major works such as “Forza Horizon 6” and “Resident Evil Requiem”.
Why did he suddenly become the dark horse of the year?
“Big Walk” is currently available in PS5, Switch 2 and PC versions, and its ability to exceed one million units in less than a week also proves that players may not necessarily want a super large 3A game every day. Sometimes it is enough to find a few friends to walk, solve puzzles and chat together. House House did not rely on explosive scenes to attract players this time. Instead, it blazed its own path in this year’s independent game market.
