Peak has sold one million copies in six days, following a steady day-by-day launch on Steam.
Developed by Landcrab (a collaboration between Landfall and Aggro Crab), the title initially launched to just over 11,000 concurrent players on 17th June according to SteamDB. This grew daily, eventually breaching the 100,000 concurrent milestone on Sunday.
As of writing, the game is at the top of Steam’s Top Sellers list, following the well-trodden path last walked by Stellar Blade and Dune Awakening earlier this month. By all accounts a great success, especially considering this is Landcrab’s first release.
In response to Peak passing the million-sales mark, Aggro Crab posted a very snarky and on-brand reaction on social media: “why did this stupid jam game sell more copies than another crabs treasure im gonna crash out”.
The positive reception comes at a good time for the Aggro Crab team, who collaborated with Landfall after funding for Going Under 2 was pulled from beneath the developer. As for Landfall, that team has a rich history of releasing smaller games that make a massive impact. Content Warning topped one million sales fairly quickly, and Totally Accurate Battlegrounds was an April Fools Joke that morphed into a surprise hit.
If you were curious as to Aggro Crab’s previous work, Another Crab’s Treasure is fantastic. It’s well worth your time, and it’s going cheap these days too! Get your pincers round it, if you can.
