Big Walk Motion Sickness Fix: FOV & Motion Reduction Overlay Settings

Turn on Motion Reduction Overlays

Big Walk includes dedicated Motion Reduction Overlays for players who feel uncomfortable in first-person games.

Open Settings > General and choose one of the Motion Reduction Overlay options. House House says these overlays are intended to help the player feel more grounded and may reduce motion sickness.

Because the feature is built into the game, it is the best first option to try before changing unrelated graphics settings.

Change the FOV on PC or Mac

If you are playing the PC or Mac version, Big Walk also includes a Field of View control.

Open Settings > Graphics and adjust Field of View. The official FAQ explains that a higher FOV lets you see more of the world and may make the first-person view feel less claustrophobic and less motion sick.

House House does not publish a single 'best' FOV number. Increase it gradually until the view feels more comfortable without becoming visually distracting.

What a higher FOV changes

Field of View changes how much of the game world is visible on screen at once.

For motion-sensitive players, the important point is not a competitive advantage or a wider peripheral view. Big Walk's own FAQ presents FOV as an accessibility option that may make the first-person presentation more comfortable.

This setting is specifically listed for PC and Mac only. Do not assume the same slider is available on PS5 or Nintendo Switch 2.

Check Big Walk's other accessibility settings

Motion Reduction Overlays and FOV are only part of Big Walk's accessibility options.

The official FAQ also lists:

• full control rebinding;
• multiple crosshair styles;
• Hold or Toggle choices for some controls;
• challenge skipping;
• in-game items that can highlight interactive objects.

If motion sickness is combined with difficulty reacting quickly or using particular controls, those options may be useful as well.

How challenge skipping works

Some Big Walk challenges depend on abilities such as hearing or reading, speaking or typing, reacting quickly, or using fine motor control.

Big Walk can allow those challenges to be skipped. The Host must enable challenge skipping through the accessibility menu when starting a session.

This is a session-level accessibility choice, so discuss it with the person hosting before the group begins.

Platform limits for FOV

Big Walk is available on Windows, Mac, PS5, and Nintendo Switch 2, but the official FAQ only lists the adjustable FOV option for PC and Mac.

Motion Reduction Overlays are listed as a general accessibility feature. If you play on console, start with the overlay options rather than looking for a PC/Mac-only FOV slider.

If House House changes platform support in a later patch, the official FAQ should be treated as the source of truth.
