Co-Op Climbing Game Peak Takes Steam by Storm, Reaches Summit of Top Sellers Chart – IGN

Peak, a co-op climbing game from the team behind Another Crab’s Treasure, is taking Steam by storm, selling 1 million copies in just six days.

According to Steam’s official top-selling games chart, which sorts games by revenue on Valve’s platform, Peak is ahead of the likes of Dune: Awakening, Stellar Blade, and Elden Ring Nightreign, albeit at a significantly lower price.

Peak hit an impressive… peak concurrent player figure of 102,799 yesterday, June 23, which was enough to make it one of the most-played games on Steam over the weekend.

“Why did this stupid jam game sell more copies than Another Crab’s Treasure?” posited a facetious post by developer Aggo Crab on Bluesky. “I’m gonna crash out.” A follow up tweet, however, thanked players with a heart emoji.

— AGGRO CRAB 💥 (@AggroCrabGames) June 22, 2025 Perhaps unsurprisingly, then, Aggro Crab team spent the weekend working on a patch for the newly released game, including a better lobby, a reminder to sprint when almost out of stamina, as well as addressing a crash on AMD hardware.

“It was the stupid grass,” the team revealed after it rolled out the fix. “We got rid of it. Turns out touching grass is BAD.”

Peak is a co-op climbing game where “the slightest mistake can spell your doom.” Either solo or as a group of lost nature scouts, your only hope of rescue from a mysterious island is to scale the mountain at its center.

We had a good time with Aggro Crab’s prior game, Another Crab’s Treasure, awarding it 8/10 in our review, writing: “Another Crab’s Treasure throws out dark themes and gratuitous violence in favor of talking cartoon crabs, and I love it.”
