Big Walk Motion Sickness Fix: FOV and Motion Reduction Settings
Use Big Walk's Motion Reduction Overlays first, then adjust FOV on PC or Mac. The official FAQ lists FOV as a PC/Mac option and does not promise a console FOV slider.
Open Settings > General and try a Motion Reduction Overlay first. On PC or Mac, open Settings > Graphics and increase Field of View gradually if the first-person view feels claustrophobic. Big Walk does not publish one best FOV value, and the official FAQ only lists adjustable FOV for PC and Mac.
Quick answer
Open Settings > General and try a Motion Reduction Overlay first. If you play on PC or Mac, open Settings > Graphics and increase Field of View gradually if the first-person view feels claustrophobic.
House House does not publish one best FOV number. The official FAQ lists adjustable FOV for PC and Mac, so do not assume that the same slider exists on PS5 or Nintendo Switch 2.
Turn on Motion Reduction Overlays
Motion Reduction Overlays are Big Walk's purpose-built first step for players who feel uncomfortable with first-person movement.
- Open Settings.
- Choose General.
- Try one of the available Motion Reduction Overlay options.
- Walk around for a short test before changing several other settings.
The overlay may help the view feel more grounded and less motion sick. If one option is uncomfortable, try another instead of assuming that the feature is not useful.
Change FOV on PC or Mac
On PC or Mac, open Settings > Graphics and adjust Field of View.
A higher FOV shows more of the world and may make the view feel less claustrophobic. Increase it in small steps and keep the lowest value that feels comfortable. A wider view is not automatically better for every player.
Platform limits
Big Walk is available on Windows, Mac, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2. The official FAQ specifically lists adjustable FOV for PC and Mac. For console players, start with Motion Reduction Overlays and the other accessibility options rather than looking for a PC/Mac-only FOV control.
Other accessibility settings
Big Walk's FAQ also lists:
- full control rebinding;
- multiple crosshair styles;
- Hold or Toggle choices for some controls;
- challenge skipping;
- items that can highlight interactive objects.
If motion discomfort is connected to a particular challenge, the Host can enable challenge skipping in the accessibility menu when starting a session.
Avoid mixing up motion sickness and performance stutter
If the problem feels like repeated frame drops, screen judder, or multiplayer jitter rather than camera discomfort, check the Big Walk low FPS guide first. Lowering Render Scale and Quality addresses a different problem from motion sensitivity.
