How to read this timeline
This page is a source index for editors and readers who want the story of Big Walk's announcement, platform rollout and launch. It should not replace official pages for live platform or store facts.
When a date comes from a third-party news index, keep the source link and treat it as a citation lead until it is confirmed by an official post, trailer upload or store listing.

What still needs stronger evidence
Exact announcement-stage wording, stream timestamps and regional article dates should be checked against the original publisher page before being copied into a headline. Some useful index sites may be blocked by Cloudflare or may summarize other sources.
This timeline is intentionally conservative: it records useful milestones and source leads without turning every third-party snippet into a permanent fact.
