House House fixed a voice chat issue that left some players struggling to hear each other in Big Walk. The developer released patch 1.005 for PS5 and Switch 2 on August 18 to correct the volume imbalance. This update matters because clear communication is essential for cooperative gameplay, and previous audio glitches disrupted that experience for many users.
Patch 1.005 corrects volume imbalance for players with quiet microphones
The patch brings the console game version to 1.4.8, aligning it with recent stability improvements. House House addressed the audio problem directly in a Q&A format rather than a standard changelog. The developer acknowledged that some players' voices were much quieter than intended, even when standing up close.
- Console Patch Version: 1.005
- Game Version: 1.4.8
- Platforms: PS5, Switch 2
The fix improves volume calibration for players using quiet microphone setups. The game now does a much better job of bringing those quieter voices up to the intended volume level. Not everyone was affected by the previous issue, but the update ensures consistent audio levels for all participants.
Voice distance drop-off mechanics remain unchanged to preserve the original game design dynamics. We looked at the last Big Walk update earlier while tracking balance and stability themes across recent patches. The change ensures players can focus on strategy rather than adjusting their audio settings mid-game.
The update is available globally on PS5 and Switch 2 as of August 18. Players can download the patch immediately to resolve the voice chat volume issues. This fix stabilizes the multiplayer experience without altering core gameplay mechanics.
