Following an announcement last week, Peak: Console Edition has shipped on Nintendo Switch 2 and is available now on the Nintendo eShop.

The console release brings the cooperative climbing survival experience to Nintendo's next-generation hardware with full cross-play support and a launch trailer available through the eShop.

Peak is presented as a tense co-op climbing game in which small mistakes can be catastrophic.

Players take on the role of lost nature scouts trapped on a mysterious island and must scale the central mountain to escape.

The game supports solo play or online co-op with up to three friends; multiplayer is friends-only, and players can invite a party of up to four scouts to attempt the ascent together.

According to the game's description, the mountain environment is deliberately unforgiving: each climb requires resource management, careful handling of injuries that affect stamina, and scavenging for food to survive.

The publisher highlights a range of survival tools available to players, including energy drinks, climbing spikes, and a distinct item named the Anti-Rope.

These items are intended to give teams mechanical advantages during difficult climbs.

Key gameplay pillars for the console edition are focused on replayability and social coordination.

The game cycles its island map every 24 hours, offering a new layout to try each day while also allowing players to retry the same island multiple times in a single day.

Climbs traverse four distinct biomes, each with unique hazards.

Developers also emphasize progression and customization: players can earn dozens of badges and unlock cosmetic items, and the game includes smaller comforts such as campfires and marshmallows.

Online features include cross-platform co-op, enabling players on different hardware to play together, and proximity chat, which allows in-world voice communication based on character proximity.

The release notes also mention single-player offline support for players who prefer a solo challenge.

Peak: Console Edition's Nintendo Switch 2 launch places the title on Nintendo's eShop storefront, where players can download the game and view the official launch trailer.

For players and outlets tracking Nintendo Switch 2 releases, this console arrival underscores continued interest in porting cooperative indie titles to the platform and supporting cross-play functionality.
