Big Walk has 12 achievements on Steam. The public objectives cover crossing the drawbridge, visiting the map, wearing equipment, riding the chairlift and train, reaching major landmarks, and getting shiny. Big Goodbye and Big Game have hidden descriptions. The number 12 applies to Steam and should not be treated as a universal console trophy count.
Big Walk achievements by platform

| Mac App Store | The official FAQ says this version does not support Game Center |
| PlayStation 5 | Do not use the Steam total as the PS5 trophy total |

Achievement planning checklist
The public descriptions are short, so the safest way to track them is to group them by the kind of action they name.
Opening and exploration
- Big Walk: make sure the achievement hunter physically crosses the drawbridge.
- Big View: enter and visit the map when the group reaches it.
- Big Climb: keep the highest point on the group's exploration list.
- Big Wall: stay together when the group goes beyond the wall.
Equipment and appearance
- Big Pack: wear a backpack.
- Big Help: wear something on your hip.
- Big Makeover: get shiny.
Transport and landmarks
- Big Sit: ride the chairlift.
- Big Ride: ride the train.
- Big Tunnel: enter a big tunnel.
Hidden objectives
- Big Goodbye: Steam hides the objective description.
- Big Game: Steam hides the objective description.
Choose the continuing host before starting an achievement run. Big Walk stores progress in the host's save, and the same host must return when the group resumes across multiple sessions.
Big Makeover — Get shiny
Big Makeover is the achievement name, and Get shiny is its Steam description. They refer to one achievement, not two separate objectives.
The public description names the result but does not specify an item, room, route, or paint color. It also does not say that an ordinary color change is enough, so use the platform achievement screen to confirm whether an in-game interaction actually triggers the unlock.
Is Get Shiny a separate achievement?
No. Get shiny is the official description shown under Big Makeover on Steam. Searching for either phrase leads to the same achievement.
Big Goodbye and Big Game
Steam lists Big Goodbye and Big Game among the 12 achievements but hides both descriptions. Their names can stay on the checklist without attaching a specific route or item requirement to either one.
Because Steam does not reveal their requirements, the public achievement list alone does not support a specific item count, route, location, or unlock sequence.
Are any Big Walk achievements missable?
Steam's public descriptions do not label any of the 12 achievements as missable. Big Walk does use a host-owned save, so these practical habits reduce avoidable repetition:
- Use the same host when the group returns to the world.
- Keep the achievement hunter present for the action named in the description.
- Check the platform achievement screen after crossing, riding, wearing, entering, or visiting the named objective.
- Complete simple equipment objectives while the relevant item is nearby.
- Do not assume crossplay also transfers achievement progress between platforms.
Big Walk trophy guide FAQ
How many achievements does Big Walk have?
Steam lists 12 Big Walk achievements. That is a Steam total, not a confirmed universal count for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, or the Mac App Store.
Can Big Walk achievements be completed solo?
Big Walk does not have a complete single-player mode. One person can enter the world, but the full game requires at least two online players, so plan the achievement list as a co-op activity.
Is Big Makeover the same as Get Shiny?
Yes. Big Makeover is the achievement name and Get shiny is its official Steam description. It is one unlock.
How do you unlock Big Game?
Steam lists Big Game as a hidden achievement and does not publish its objective. The public Steam description therefore does not provide a specific route, item count, or location.
Do Steam achievements transfer to PS5?
Crossplay and trophy synchronization are different features. Big Walk's official materials describe crossplay but do not describe automatic Steam-to-PS5 achievement transfer, so track progress on the platform where you want the unlocks.
