When Does Peak Release on PS5?
Peak releases on PS5 on October 22, 2026, alongside the Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 versions, with all three console editions launching on the same day. There is no staggered console rollout: PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo players all get the game at once.
A physical edition for PS5 follows later, on December 9, 2026, priced at $19.99. Players who prefer a disc copy can therefore wait for the physical release, while everyone else can buy and play digitally from October 22.

What Is Peak?
Peak is a co-op climbing game in which up to four players scale a mountain together, managing stamina, injuries, and food while surviving hazards across four distinct biomes. It is developed by Team Peak, the joint effort of Aggro Crab and Landfall, and it first launched on PC in June 2025.
The appeal is in the shared struggle. Climbs are rarely clean: stamina runs out at the worst moment, a fall causes injuries, and food supplies dwindle as the ascent drags on. Hazards add further chaos, including tornadoes, poison clouds, birds, and even zombies. Custom run difficulty lets groups tune the challenge to their liking, whether they want a relaxed climb or a brutal one.
Does Peak Support Cross-Play on Consoles?
Yes, Peak supports cross-play for up to four players on its console versions, so PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2 players can climb together in the same session. Cross-play removes the usual platform barrier for co-op groups split across different consoles.
That matters more than usual for a game like Peak, which is built around four-player cooperation. A group does not need to agree on a single console before buying: each player can pick their preferred platform and still join the same climb. For players whose friends are spread across PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch, this is the feature that makes the console launch work.
What Do the Console Versions Include?
The console versions of Peak include all PC content updates, biomes, and items added since the game's June 2025 PC launch, so console players start with the complete, updated game rather than the original release version. Nothing from the PC version's post-launch support is held back.
That includes all four biomes and the full set of items introduced through updates, alongside the custom run difficulty options. Console newcomers therefore get the benefit of months of PC updates from their first climb, while returning PC players jumping to console will find the content they already know.
