Peak Sells 10 Million Copies

Indie climbing hit Peak has officially sold 10 million copies according to Aliena Analytics analyst Rhys Elliott and Gamescom Opening Night Live host Geoff Keighley.

Elliott first reported the sales figure on Monday in his newsletter,

Peak has seen significant success on Steam since its launch in June, and has been consistently listed as one of the most-played games on the platform. At the time this piece was written, it was sitting at about 88k concurrent players on Steam per SteamDB, just above Naraka: Bladepoint and just behind GTA 5.

That success was amplified last week, when a sale dropping it from $7.99 to $4.95 alongside the new Mesa update caused it to shoot up in sales and concurrent players. It reached 171k concurrent users on Sunday, and 1.3 million total users throughout that same day, per Alinea.

Peak is a survival climbing game developed by Aggro Crab, where up to four players climb a mountain together, overcoming obstacles and managing their climbing stamina as they go. The game’s sudden popularity has inspired various Roblox knock-offs, with the developer saying on social media that it would rather players pirate Peak than play a “microtransaction-riddled Roblox slop ripoff.”
