Peak, the $7.99 co-op climbing game that took off on Steam in 2025, has been rated for PlayStation 5 by the Entertainment Software Rating Board. The developers have not announced a console version, but the ESRB listing names the platform and describes the game in detail.
What the rating says
The ESRB rated the PlayStation 5 version E10+ for Everyone 10+, with the content descriptor Fantasy Violence and the interactive element Users Interact. Its summary describes a co-op adventure in which players, stranded on a mysterious island, work together in first person to climb mountains, collect tools and survive.
The listing mentions spiders that bind characters and zombies that grab players and slam them to the ground. It also notes that when a player’s hunger gets too low, they can eat other characters, who appear as rotisserie chicken, with “cartoony skeleton effects.”
An ESRB rating is not a release announcement, and the listing does not include a price or date. IGN noted that ESRB listings have historically been an accurate sign of upcoming releases. The listing covers PlayStation 5 only.
How big Peak is on Steam
Peak launched on Steam on June 16, 2025, for Windows PC, from Team PEAK with Aggro Crab and Landfall as publishers, and sells for $7.99, according to its Steam page. As of October 14, 2026:
- Reviews: 379,508 user reviews, rated Very Positive, with 358,410 positive, or about 94%.
- Players: 20,138 people in game at once at about 14:20 UTC, according to Steam’s public player-count data, about 16 months after launch.
IGN reported that Peak had sold more than 10 million copies as of August 2025 and that its post-launch support ended earlier in 2026, so a console release would bring the existing game rather than new content.
