PEAK Console Edition Launches on PS5, Xbox, Switch 2

October 16, 2026

Aggro Crab and Landfall have officially announced that PEAK is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series consoles, and Nintendo Switch 2. The PEAK console edition launches on October 22, 2026, bringing the hit co-op climbing game to console players for the first time.

It is great news for anyone who watched the PC version's runaway success from the sidelines. PEAK launched on Steam in June 2025 and has since sold over 10 million copies, building an enormous "Overwhelmingly Positive" rating across roughly 146,500 player reviews. Console players will not be getting a stripped-down port either: the console version ships with every PC content update, including the Gloom, Mesa, and Roots biomes, plus full cross-platform multiplayer so friends on different systems can climb together.

PEAK Console Release Date and Platforms

The PEAK console release date is October 22, 2026, announced on October 15, 2026 by developers Aggro Crab and Landfall. The game lands on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2 on the same day.

The console version includes all of the PC version's post-launch content. That means every biome that has been added since launch, including Gloom, Mesa, and Roots, will be available from day one on consoles. Players will also be able to join forces across platforms, because full cross-platform multiplayer works between PC, PS5, Xbox, and Switch 2.

PEAK Gameplay: Co-Op Climbing Explained

For anyone who missed the PC phenomenon, PEAK is a co-op climbing game for one to four players. You team up either solo or in online co-op with proximity voice chat and attempt to climb a mountain through four biomes packed with life-threatening obstacles.

The survival loop is deceptively simple but brutal in practice. You scavenge questionable food to keep your energy up, manage injuries as you fall or get caught by environmental hazards, and carefully pace your stamina so you do not run out halfway up a cliff face. The mountain itself changes every 24 hours, with a rotating layout that keeps every run fresh and forces players to adapt rather than memorize a route.

That rotation is a big part of why PEAK caught on. No two days play the same, and the daily layout has become a shared ritual among the game's community, with players comparing notes on each new mountain.

PEAK Physical Edition: Price and What Is Included

Skybound Games will distribute a PS5 physical edition of PEAK priced at $19.99 / €19.99 / £14.99. The physical release includes the full game on disc, a passport kit, and an extra digital game code so you can gift a copy to a friend. Pre-orders are open now at retailers such as VGP.

One note of caution: sources disagree on the physical edition's release date. Push Square reports that no physical release date has been officially confirmed yet, while FullCleared cites December 9. Until Aggro Crab or Skybound Games confirm a date, treat December 9 as unconfirmed and follow official channels for the announcement.

Why PEAK's Console Launch Matters

PEAK's 10 million sales put it among the biggest indie success stories of the past year, and its console debut on October 22 could introduce it to an even larger audience. The combination of full cross-play, complete PC content, and same-day launches on all three major console families removes every barrier that might have kept console players away.

The timing is strong, too. October is crowded with big releases, but PEAK fills a gap as an affordable co-op party game in the $20 range. If the PC community's enthusiasm is any indication, the mountain is about to get a lot more crowded.
