Hello Scouts! Team Peak is happy to announce that our climbing game Peak is launching on PlayStation 5 October 22. Peak is a collaboration between two studios, Aggro Crab and Landfall, together, we make Team Peak.
Aggro Crab is an American studio based in Seattle, Washington, known for their games Another Crab’s Treasure and Going Under. Landfall is a Swedish studio based in Stockholm, known for games like Content Warning, Haste, Totally Accurate Battle Simulator, Stick Fight: The Game, and many more.
Both studios became friends after meeting at a game developer conference in 2022, instantly kicking it off. After the success of Another Crab’s Treasure and Content Warning, the teams thought that it could be cool to collaborate on a small project together.
Game jam in South Korea
To celebrate our friendship, we initially made the game as a one-month game jam in Seoul, South Korea in February of 2025. Three Aggro Crab devs and four Landfall devs locked themselves in a rented apartment, fueled by Korean BBQ and coffee to make something fun together.
A game jam is a timed event where individuals or teams create a game from scratch within a strict deadline, often following a secret or shared theme. Initially, the theme for the game had been discussed by the devs while sitting in a hot tub in Sweden, a couple of months before heading to South Korea for the jam.
The result was Peak, a co-op climbing game where the slightest mistake can spell your doom. You play solo or as a group of lost nature scouts, with your only hope of rescue from a mysterious island being to scale the mountain at its centre.
The key is to stick together, help each other out, and to find the best way to the top before hunger, hazards, or the fog gets you.
After the game jam the team went home to their respective countries, with Landfall finishing up our game Haste, and Aggro Crab working on Peak and some other projects. We then all met back up in Sweden in June to finish the game together – and to celebrate the Swedish tradition of Midsummer.
Friendship & crossplay
Peak is a game based on friendship, both in its development and gameplay.
In the game, there’s an important rule: Never abandon a friend in need. Therefore, we’re excited that with the launch on PS5 we’ve also made it possible for crossplay so that you can climb with up to three friends no matter what platform they use.
Climb to the Peak
The Mountain Takes no Prisoners! Climb through 4 biomes on your way to the Peak, each with its own life-threatening obstacles. You’ll need to scavenge for questionable food to survive and manage your injuries carefully – every setback limits your stamina, making it harder to climb.
Survive together
We have a bunch of different hazards that you will encounter in the different biomes, everything from tornadoes to poison clouds, birds, and zombies. If any of those things scare you, you can also customise your run, making it easier or harder depending on what your scout troop feels like.
Play Peak on PlayStation 5
We’re really excited for PlayStation players to join the climb. The PlayStation 5 version includes all content updates, biomes, and new items the game has received since initial launch – and yes, that includes being able to physically kick your friends using custom runs if you want to be evil. So get your troop together for Peak on PlayStation 5 October 22.
