PEAK PS5 Release Date and Crossplay Explained

PEAK is coming to PlayStation 5 on October 22, 2026, bringing its cooperative climbing adventure to a new audience. Developed by Aggro Crab and Landfall, the game supports solo play or a group of up to four players.

The studios confirmed the release in their official PlayStation Blog announcement, with crossplay among the headline features.

What Is PEAK?

You play as a stranded scout trying to escape an island by reaching the summit of its mountain. Climbing means managing stamina, finding food and dealing with injuries while navigating dangerous terrain.

Teamwork matters: helping a struggling friend can be as important as finding your own route upward.

Does PEAK on PS5 Support Crossplay?

Yes. The developers confirmed crossplay alongside the PS5 launch, allowing friends on supported platforms to climb together.

Custom runs also let groups adjust the challenge. The PS5 release includes the content updates, biomes and items added since the game’s original launch.

What Should You Check Before Buying?

Start with the PlayStation Store listing for your account’s region. Check the local price, online-play requirements and supported languages before making a purchase.

If you are buying specifically to play with friends, agree on the version everyone will use and check the available crossplay instructions. Crossplay and cross-save are separate features, so confirmation of one should not be treated as confirmation of the other.

This announcement is also not, by itself, confirmation of inclusion in a PlayStation Plus subscription. Check the store’s purchase and subscription options rather than assuming that a PlayStation launch means a catalog release.

Our Take: Plan a Group Session First

For a group considering a new cooperative game, our suggestion is to watch an uninterrupted gameplay session together before buying. A trailer can communicate the atmosphere, but a longer session makes it easier to judge whether the pacing suits everyone.

Decide whether your group enjoys retrying failed attempts, communicating under pressure and letting slower players catch up. Those preferences are more useful purchasing criteria than whether a game is currently trending.

If you use voice chat to coordinate sessions, our guide to using Discord on PS5 can help with preparation.
