Let’s meet PEAK. This fresh co-op indie climbing game blew up fast, racking up a wild 1 million sales in just six days.

It launched on June 16 and instantly climbed the charts to become one of Steam’s most-played games.

About the PEAK Game

PEAK is built for up to four stranded nature scouts trying to get off a strange island. The only way out? Climb the massive central mountain. It’s not just for looks — it resets every 24 hours with a whole new layout, so you’re never running the same route twice. Along the way, you’re juggling stamina, grabbing whatever supplies you can find, and patching up injuries while moving through four different biomes. Ropes, spikes, and teamwork are the only way up.

Release Timeline

PEAK dropped on June 16, 2025. It’s the brainchild of Landcrab, a joint effort between Landfall and Aggro Crab.

The climb wasn’t just in-game. Player numbers shot up from 11,000 on June 17 to a massive 102,799 by Sunday, June 22.

Steam Stats

Right now, PEAK sits at over 70,000 active players. It’s got over 15,000 reviews, with 92% of them giving it a thumbs up which means it’s sitting pretty with a “Very Positive” rating.

Lethal Company Vibes, Content Warning Energy

This isn’t Landfall’s first viral rodeo. They’ve done it before with Content Warning, and now PEAK is pulling the same kind of numbers as hits like Lethal Company. It’s already doing better than games like REMATCH and Dune: Awakening, and somehow managed to out-earn bigger names like Dead by Daylight and even Elden Ring: Nightreign. Yeah, it’s that kind of wild.

Why It’s Blowing Up: Proximity Chat, Friends-Only Co-Op, Chaos Galore

A big reason PEAK’s so fun? It’s hilarious when things go wrong. Add proximity chat, and you get those perfect moments where your friend slips, screams, and pulls the whole group down with them. It’s co-op-only, up to four players, and people love how it mixes challenge with dumb fun.

Price & Launch Sale

The launch price was a no-brainer: $3.99, and then it got sliced to $2.47 during the sale. Cheap, fun, and easy to jump into — that combo put it straight at the top of Steam’s best sellers.

Community & Twitch Buzz

Twitch picked it up fast. The game’s full of laugh-out-loud moments and near-misses, perfect for streaming. (Twitch peak viewer numbers weren’t confirmed in the notes, but the presence was strong.)

Conclusion: Surprise Indie Hit of the Summer?

PEAK caught even the devs off guard with how fast it took off. They’ve been patching it constantly, fixing major bugs like the AMD crash on the Tropics map by just turning off grass. New options like “Invite Only” lobbies and a “Give Up” button have already been added. The game is cheap, chaotic, and fun with friends. If it keeps the momentum, it’s sticking around as one of this summer’s biggest indie surprises.
