A quick look at Peak’s screenshots and videos shows several players all working together in unison. So, if you’re wondering if it’s a solo game with AI teammates, or if there’s local or online multiplayer, you’ve come to the right place.
Steam has seen a rise in popular indie multiplayer games in recent years. The most notable examples are REPO, Lethal Company, and Content Warning. Each one has wowed players with its addictive gameplay, and they’ve allowed for several players to team up and cause chaos together.
Peak is the new kid on the block, but let’s see if it’s learned from its contemporaries in a multiplayer sense.
How Many Players Can Play Peak Together?
Up to four real-life players can work together to climb a litany of mountains in Peak.
Don’t take my word for it, check out the official Peak Steam page. Under its ‘Features’ section, it states that you can “Climb with a total of 4 friends.”
This doesn’t mean you have to play with four friends, but you do have some wiggle room depending on the size of your party.
The inclusion of parties, proximity chat, and online co-op allows for a lot of flexibility in how you approach Peak. It doesn’t quite match the six players you can have in REPO, but it might be better not having to worry about even more party members falling off the mountain!
Can You Play Peak Solo?
Peak also allows you to climb mountains solo, and you’re given the game’s full blessing to try and complete biomes on your own.
There doesn’t appear to be any benefit to playing solo; just be warned. You have no one to rely on, and one mistake could bring your progress tumbling down, literally.
But if you don’t want to party up in Peak, the option is there.
Peak is proving to be one of the more successful indie games in 2025. It remains to be seen how it performs compared to other hit indie games, but if you’re interested in it, we have other guides to check out: How much it costs, Does it support Crossplay, and all platforms you can play it on.
