PEAK Climbs Onto PS5, Xbox and Switch 2 on October 22 With Crossplay

PEAK has spent more than a year as the game your PC friends keep telling you about, the one where four scouts crash on a mountain island and spend the evening dragging each other upward by rope, tripping over their own stamina bars. On October 22, everyone else finally gets to join the expedition. Team PEAK, the joint banner of Aggro Crab and Landfall, has confirmed the co-op climber lands on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 on that date.

This is the first time the game leaves PC. It began life in June 2025 as a game jam collaboration, became one of the breakout hits of the year, and has since passed ten million copies sold on Steam alone. Consoles were the obvious next step, and the announcement is short on surprises in the best way: same game, same chaos, no cut down port.

What console players actually get

The console versions ship on the latest build, so the biomes, items and systems added across the PC update run are all included from day one. That matters more than it sounds. Anyone who bought the PC game at launch saw it grow over a year, and console buyers skip straight to the finished product, including The Final Ascent, the update the studios billed as their last major content drop. There is no waiting for a later patch to catch the console build up.

Crossplay is the other headline. The studios say you can climb with up to three friends no matter what platform they use, which is a bigger deal for a game like this than for most. PEAK lives and dies by who is on the other end of the rope, and a group chat split between PC, PlayStation and Switch 2 is now a single party. We would not underestimate how much that helps a game whose whole appeal is shared failure.

The digital launch is the main event, but there is a physical angle too. A PS5 disc edition has been announced alongside a buddy code, which gives a friend a free digital copy, and a printed passport with stickers. That one arrives after October 22. We did not find an official street date or price from the studios, so we are not going to guess at either. For reference, the Steam page currently lists the PC game at 7.49 euros, though console pricing was not confirmed by the sources we checked.

What it means for you, and our take

If you play on console and have been eyeing PEAK, the practical advice is simple. Wait for the October 22 unlock, check your console store for the final price in your region, and line up your group before you start, since the game is built around four players even though it supports solo and smaller parties. If most of your friends already own it on PC, crossplay means you can jump in without anyone buying again.

There is a modest caveat. Nothing we have seen speaks to performance on Switch 2 or Xbox, such as frame rate targets or resolution, and the studios have not published a spec sheet. PEAK is a stylized, physics driven game rather than a graphical showpiece, so we are not expecting trouble, but we would hold off on a pre-purchase decision for a day or two and read how each version actually runs.

Our take: this is a good, low-risk console release. The game is finished, the price on PC is small, crossplay removes the biggest reason co-op games feel lonely on a new platform, and the studios have been consistent about not turning it into a live service treadmill. Console players are arriving at the end of the story rather than the beginning, which is a pretty comfortable way to join a mountain climb. The only real open question is the disc date, and we will update if the studios put one out.
