The cooperative climbing adventure Peak has rocketed to the top of Steam’s best-sellers list, surpassing major titles just days after launch. Developed by the team behind Another Crab’s Treasure, the game sold over one million copies within its first week, demonstrating remarkable momentum in a competitive marketplace.
Steam’s revenue-based rankings place Peak ahead of high-profile releases like Dune: Awakening and Stellar Blade, despite its lower price point. The game’s popularity surged further when it reached 102,799 concurrent players on June 23, securing its spot among Steam’s most-played titles over the weekend.
Aggro Crab, the studio behind Peak, humorously questioned its own success in a social media post, joking about outselling their previous hit. “Why did this stupid jam game sell more copies than Another Crab’s Treasure?” the team quipped before expressing gratitude to players. The developers quickly followed up with a patch addressing performance issues, including fixes for AMD hardware crashes, blaming the problem on, of all things, “the stupid grass.”
In Peak, players navigate treacherous terrain either solo or with friends, scaling a mysterious mountain as stranded nature scouts. The game emphasizes teamwork and precision, where one wrong move can lead to disaster. Its blend of challenge and cooperative gameplay has clearly resonated with audiences.
Aggro Crab’s previous title, Another Crab’s Treasure, earned praise for its whimsical charm, scoring an 8/10 in reviews for its lighthearted take on adventure gaming. With Peak’s explosive debut, the studio continues to prove its ability to craft engaging, unconventional experiences that capture players’ imaginations.
As the gaming community embraces this unexpected hit, Peak’s rapid ascent highlights the growing appetite for fresh, collaborative gameplay experiences. Whether climbing solo or with friends, players are clearly eager to test their skills, and their luck, on the mountain’s unforgiving slopes.
