This game is taking the internet by storm. What exactly is "Peak"?

One million copies sold in six days. Sounds like the success of a big AAA hit? Not this time. This is an achievement by the independent studio Landfall Games, which managed to ignite the imagination of gamers around the world with a game... for less than four pounds.

“Peak” — a climb full of chaos and laughter

A game that at first glance looks like a small toy created for a few friends has turned out to be one of the biggest virals this summer. “Peak” is a cooperative adventure for up to four players, where we try to climb to the mountain peak, facing physics, obstacles, and – most importantly – coordination (or rather, the lack of it).

If you’ve played “Human: Fall Flat” or “Totally Reliable Delivery Service”, the vibe of “Peak” won’t be foreign to you. Here, cooperation matters, but just as often – getting in each other’s way. All set in a pastel, minimalist style that instead of distracting attention, focuses it on the most important thing: interaction between players.

One million copies in six days. How is that possible?

The answer is simple: accessible, fun, cheap, and perfect for streaming. On the day of its release, the game cost just £3.96 on Steam (on promotion), while its standard price is £6.39. That's less than a pint in a London pub – and it provides hours of laughter and frustration.

The developers at Landfall Games celebrated the milestone in a remarkably modest way. They simply posted an image on social media with the caption: "Peak". A minimalism that perfectly reflects the style of the game itself.

Perfect Game for Summer

“Peak” doesn’t try to be anything more than what it is. It’s a light, at times absurd production perfect for shared evenings – whether locally or online. There’s no need to explain the rules, you don’t need to know the lore, there are no cinematics or crafting systems here. Just – you run, climb, laugh, and try not to fall into the abyss.

It’s a bit like a party board game, but in digital form and with a greater dose of chaos.

Is it worth it?

If you're looking for something that:

• lightens the mood,

• is perfect for a party or stream,

• doesn't cost a fortune,
  then yes – “Peak” is exactly what you need. In a world where games are increasingly turning into massive, overwhelming projects that take dozens of hours, this title proves that simplicity still sells. Especially when it delivers pure fun.
