PEAK is expanding beyond Steam next week, giving PS5 players access to one of 2025's most successful co-op games. Aggro Crab and Landfall have set an October 22 launch for PEAK: Console Edition, which will also arrive on Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch 2 with cross-play enabled from day one.
What happened: PEAK sets its console launch date
Aggro Crab and Landfall confirmed that PEAK: Console Edition will launch digitally on Thursday, October 22, at 11 AM Eastern. The release covers PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2, bringing the first-person climbing game to consoles a little more than a year after its June 2025 Steam debut. Console players will receive the content updates already released for the PC version, including August 2026's The Final Ascent update. The developers have not announced a console price, so prospective climbers will need to wait for that detail.
Why it matters: a proven co-op hit gets a wider audience
PEAK built its reputation around chaotic teamwork rather than competitive progression. Up to four players attempt to scale a mountain, balancing resource management, found items, environmental obstacles, and the risk that one bad decision can end a run. That repeatable format helped establish the game as a major Steam co-op success, where its low $7.99 entry price and replay value made it a popular choice for groups of friends. The game has sold more than 10 million copies since launch, making the console move a significant expansion for both studios.
What to watch next: cross-play, physical copies, and support
Cross-play is the key feature of the console release. PS5 owners will be able to join friends playing on Switch 2 or Xbox Series X/S without being restricted to a single platform, an especially important advantage for a game designed around four-player coordination. A PS5 physical edition is also planned for later in 2026. It will include a disc, an additional game code intended for a friend, and a sticker pack. A Switch 2 physical version is being developed as well, while no Xbox physical release is planned. Beyond launch, the developers say PEAK will receive maintenance updates and bug fixes when required, though the cadence for future updates remains unclear.

Expert View
PEAK's console launch has the right priorities: simultaneous releases, full cross-play, and content parity with Steam. For a game whose appeal depends on getting a group together quickly, removing platform barriers matters more than an exclusive feature set. The unanswered price question is the remaining variable, particularly because the Steam version's affordable cost was part of its early momentum.
