The release brings cross-platform online co-op to Nintendo’s new console, allowing Switch 2 players to climb with friends on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC through Steam. Up to four players can join a session, and multiplayer is friends-only, so a player can invite up to three other scouts online. The game also supports offline single-player play and online co-op.

Team PEAK, a collaboration between Aggro Crab and Landfall, developed the game. It originally launched on PC via Steam on June 17, 2025. The title remained exclusive to PC for over a year after its June 2025 launch before releasing on consoles. GosuGamers reports that PEAK became a viral hit following its June 2025 launch.

The Oct. 22 debut marks PEAK’s first release outside of PC. Landfall and Aggro Crab announced the console launch on Oct. 15, 2026, setting the digital release for Oct. 22 across PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox. GosuGamers reports the console launch was scheduled for around 8 am PT on Oct. 22, 2026. PCMag Middle East reports that digital editions of PEAK will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch 2 storefronts from Oct. 22, 2026, while regional pricing for the UAE and wider Middle East has not been announced.

Team PEAK said through the PlayStation Blog that crossplay lets players climb with up to three friends no matter what platform they use. “so that you can climb with up to three friends no matter what platform they use”

The mountain map rotates every 24 hours, presenting a new island layout each day that players can attempt repeatedly. Climbers move through four biomes on the way to the Peak, each with life-threatening obstacles, while managing stamina, injuries, and scavenging questionable food. Players can place ropes and climbing spikes to help one another progress up the mountain.

The console versions include all content updates released for the game to date, along with character customization and dozens of badges to earn for survival prowess. Proximity voice chat lets nearby players communicate during a climb.

GosuGamers reports that PEAK has sold more than 10 million copies and earned strong reviews after its June 2025 launch. PCMag Middle East reports that PEAK won Best Multiplayer Game at the 2025 Golden Joystick Awards and holds an Overwhelmingly Positive Steam user review rating. Landfall and Aggro Crab state that the game has sold millions of copies on Steam since launch.
