Peak devs really did not expect to sell 2 million copies in 9 days, say they're now "looking into possible updates" for their hit that started as a "stupid jam game"
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Indie co-op climbing game Peak has reached a new sales milestone of two million copies, and developers Landfall and Aggro Crab are now "looking into possible updates" after an "amazing launch". "Peak managed to exceed our expectations of player count and hype by like.. a lot," Landfall Games and Aggro Crab (collectively Landcrab) say in a news announcement on Steam which includes the latest numbers. The game has, at time of writing, climbed up to become the third top seller on Steam globally. Aggro Crab was already stunned at the success Peak has had a few days ago, when it announced its "stupid jam game" had sold one million copies in six days, and outsold its brilliant take on the Soulslike genre, Another Crab's Treasure. It's now doubled that number in half the amount of time, living up to its Very Positive rating on Steam. To thank players for the positive reception, Landcrab confirms the developers are now "looking into possible updates" for the game. "It's very early stages," it adds on Steam, stating that it won't be sharing "exact details" on what to expect yet. "We're still prioritizing bug fixes and stability first," the developers confirm. Some things which are definitely in the works for Peak are localization and merch – Landcrab calls the latter "another thing we didn't really expect to do", but says it is "looking at some pretty great things". As for any major content, Landcrab says the teams don't know how many updates there'll be or when they'll be ready "since we're two studios who have other projects to work on," and games you know, take time to make. Aggro Crab might have been a bit tongue-in-cheek when it called Peak a "stupid jam game", but the devs revealed it really was developed over a month-long game jam in South Korea in an interview with PC Gamer.

What is Pandora's Lunchbox, and when should you use it in PEAK?
(Image via Landcrab) In the bizarre, high-stakes world of PEAK, survival demands quick thinking, and sometimes, blind luck. That's where Pandora's Lunchbox comes in. This mysterious box is equal parts chaotic and clutch. It's not your everyday tool; it's more like cracking open chaos. But in the right situation, it could be your unexpected lifeline. Here's what it is and why you should use it. What Exactly Is Pandora's Lunchbox? Pandora's Lunchbox is one of the most unpredictable items in PEAK. The moment you use it, it wipes away all negative status effects from your character. Sounds like a win, right? Well… not so fast. Right after the cleanse, the Lunchbox activates a hidden mechanic—a kind of internal "effect budget"—that randomly adds new status effects to your character. These can be: Positive boosts (like healing, energy recharge, or buffs), Negative effects (such as debuffs, weird modifiers, or fresh conditions), Or a combination of both. The number of effects ranges from none to five, with two being the average. The outcomes? Totally unpredictable. This is why YOU NEVER use Pandora's Box | PEAK So, Why Would You Use It? Despite the risk, Pandora's Lunchbox can actually be a clutch move, especially when things go south fast. 1. It Removes the Curse Debuff Got revived and stuck with a nasty Curse? You can't heal, you're constantly losing progress, and it just won't go away. The Lunchbox is currently the only known way to remove this specific debuff. If you're Cursed and don't want to burn valuable resources or die (again), popping the box could be your best shot. 2. Emergency Reset Button If you're hanging by a thread, poisoned, drained, low on health, this item can act as a full reset. In some runs, it has completely restored health and energy in one go. Is that guaranteed? Nope. But when you're already spiraling, it's worth the gamble. PEAK Trailer: OUT NOW! When Not to Use It If you're in control, fully powered, and moving smoothly through the game, maybe don't mess with it. Opening Pandora's Lunchbox when things are going well could replace your good fortune with a string of bad effects. And remember: once it's open, there's no undo button. Pandora's Lunchbox is both a blessing and a bombshell. It clears your problems, but invites new ones in. That makes it perfect for desperate moments, but risky in stable ones. If you're already sinking, take the chance. If you're soaring, maybe keep it sealed. Because in PEAK, sometimes the only way forward... is to roll the dice. Game On Season 1 kicks off with Sakshi Malik's inspiring story. Watch Episode 1 here
