The first significant content upgrade for the hit cooperative game titled “Peak” has been released. This includes a fresh biome within the game, new items, and additional surprises, as well as bug fixes. Developed by Aggro Crab (creators of Another Crab’s Treasure) and Swedish indie studio Landfall, this indie title remains extremely popular, and with this latest update, it’s expected to maintain its leading position on Steam charts.
Remarkably, Peak originated as a Game Jam project, later transforming into a comprehensive game that debuted on Steam on June 16, 2025. Its fame quickly escalated, leading to Peak selling more than 5 million copies within a single month, compelling the developers to persist with updates. The game has undergone numerous minor adjustments, but lately, Aggro Crab has been hinting at Peak’s first significant update, a patch enriching the game with fresh content and cosmetics for players to explore.
For most enthusiasts, the standout feature of the Mesa Update for the game ‘Peak’ is the introduction of a brand-new biome, which developer Aggro Crab previewed in a brief video clip. During the week following this update, the Mesa will take over from the Alpine location in every single player’s run. After that initial period, however, the maps will alternate randomly between the two, introducing an element of unpredictability into each run. As suggested by the trailer, players seem to encounter a variety of new challenges, such as a tornado and intense sunlight.
In an effort to aid players, Aggro Crab has introduced fresh finds during their ascent, such as Sunscreen, Aloe Vera, balloons, and parasols to shield against the sun’s intensity. Tumbleweeds traverse the map, and scout cannons have been made available among other Peak climbing equipment to help players surmount higher cliffs in their quest to dominate the terrain. This update has also incorporated Dynamite, which might offer trollish individuals a chance to disrupt their fellow gamers’ adventures.
This year, 2025, has been a significant one for enthusiasts of cooperative games, with multiple titles climbing high on sales charts. Among independent releases, REPO, Peak, and Schedule 1 have all experienced impressive success, strengthening the hold co-op games have on Steam. For those who prefer AAA games, Elden Ring Nightreign and Monster Hunter Wilds have also gained popularity at various points, continually releasing updates and additional content for players to enjoy.
