The indie game Peak has achieved a remarkable milestone, selling over one million copies within just six days of its Steam release. Developed through a unique collaboration between Landfall and Aggro Crab under the studio name Landcrab, the title has quickly climbed to the top of Steam’s bestseller charts.
Launching on June 17th with around 11,000 concurrent players, the game saw steady growth each day before surpassing 100,000 simultaneous players by Sunday. Its rapid success mirrors recent hits like Stellar Blade and Dune Awakening, proving that well-crafted indie titles can compete with major releases.
Aggro Crab, known for their sharp humor, couldn’t resist poking fun at their own success. In a tongue-in-cheek social media post, they quipped, “Why did this stupid jam game sell more copies than Another Crab’s Treasure? I’m gonna crash out.” The lighthearted jab highlights the unexpected nature of Peak’s breakout performance.
The timing couldn’t be better for Aggro Crab, who recently faced setbacks after funding for Going Under 2 was canceled. Partnering with Landfall, a studio with a knack for turning small projects into viral hits, proved to be a winning move. Landfall’s track record includes Content Warning, which also hit one million sales swiftly, and Totally Accurate Battlegrounds, an April Fools’ joke that became a surprise sensation.
For those unfamiliar with Aggro Crab’s work, Another Crab’s Treasure remains a standout title worth exploring. With its current discounted price, now’s the perfect time to dive into this critically acclaimed underwater adventure.
