PEAK, one of the bestindiegames of 2025, will be getting its first major content update very soon.PEAKhas been one of the most played and talked-about games this year,breaking co-op game recordsand also being one of the most active Steam games. The game sold more than 100,000 units within its first 24 hours of release, and it looks like it will continue to be a popular game this summer.
According to a news update onSteam,PEAK’sThe MESA Updatewill be released on August 11. The announcement was accompanied by a brief trailer, showcasing a desert area. No pricing information was provided (if it ends up not being a free update). A Play Quest will also be available from August 11 to August 17 in partnership withDiscord.
What To Expect From PEAK’s First Big Update
A Desert Biome
Other than the release date and a brief 20-second look at what appears to be a desert environment,almost no information was revealed about the update. The new environment should bring new challenges for climbers to face with their friends. The game had an ice mountain environment already, so the addition of a desert should be quite a bit different from what’s been available previously.
A dust tornado was spotted at the end of the trailer, so that could be the new main environmental hazard. Heat exhaustion or thirst could also be an element.
