Aggro Crab has done it again. The indie studio behind quirky hits has struck gold with Peak, a hilarious co-op survival game that has now sold over 5 million copies, just shy of a month after launch.
Released on June 16, 2025, Peak throws up to four players into a chaotic climb up a procedurally generated mountain filled with wacky hazards and unpredictable physics. Every night, the game’s mountain reshapes itself, providing a new challenge for returning players and ensuring no two runs are ever the same.
From Game Jam to Global Phenomenon
Peak originated earlier this year as a simple game jam project, but its success was anything but small-scale. After launching on Steam, the game quickly caught fire—thanks to its Don’t Starve-style survival mechanics, quirky visuals, and a gameplay loop that balances comedy and catastrophe.
Players around the world have embraced the challenge, sharing hilarious fails and triumphant climbs on social media. Streamers and content creators helped fuel the buzz, with Peak becoming a mainstay on Twitch’s trending list.
Developer Reaction and Road Ahead
In a July 13th post on X (formerly Twitter), Aggro Crab revealed that Peak had surpassed 5 million sales. The studio expressed surprise and gratitude, writing:
“We made a climbing game and 5 million people bought it. What is happening.”
This milestone followed the launch of Update 1.7, which introduced multiple quality-of-life improvements, localization support for new regions, and general gameplay polish—further increasing its global appeal.
Console Ports and Crossplay on the Horizon?
While Peak is currently available exclusively on Steam, Aggro Crab has hinted at potential ports to PS5 and Xbox. The team also expressed interest in adding crossplay functionality, which would expand its co-op chaos to a broader player base.
A Peak Worth Climbing
In a sea of competitive multiplayer titles, Peak stands tall—literally and figuratively—as a refreshing, chaotic, and community-driven experience. It proves once again that indie studios can not only keep up with the big leagues, but sometimes even surpass them.
If you haven’t tried Peak yet, now’s your chance to climb aboard the madness and see what millions of players are already enjoying.
