An update forPEAKwas released on Jul 15, 2025, dubbedPatch v1.10.a,and it brought along a couple of totally normal things, such as Turkish and Polish translations, to give even more PC players the chance to get some time with the indie climbing-survival game. Of course, there are general performance fixes and microphone cleanup; crashes are going to be less frequent.
However, the most important thing that comes with this update forPEAK(and arguably the weirdest) iscannibalism. Yes, we said it: Cannibalism. With this being an option inPEAK, it means you can actuallychomp on your climbing mates if you get really hungry. Here’s how it works.
There has been some discussion online about anew Accolade being added toPEAKthat you’re able to attain by eating your friend, but I played with a fellow writer, and they ate me anddidn’t get a new achievement.
How Does Cannibalism in PEAK Work?
Mmmm, Tasty
As you might be able to see in the images above, the only way to eat another player inPEAKis if your hunger meter takes over the majority of your health bar.Once you reach about 70% Hunger, your teammates will start to look like delicious fried chicken,and you caneat them by holding the button that appearswhen you get close to them.
If you decide to eat your friends (terrible), you’ll recover a lot of Stamina, but it comes at a price. First of all, yourteammate will obviously die, turning into a skeleton and, subsequently, a ghost. You canrevive them by using a special Scout Effigy itemor going to the statue at the top of each biome at camp.
An update toPEAKon August 1 gives players the option to toggle off the Cannibalism mechanic in the main menu.
The second bad thing that’ll happen to you if you eat your mate is that you will beinflicted with a little bit of the Curse status effect. This will suck up space from your Stamina bar, and you can get rid of it by eitherfinding a Pandora’s Lunchbox or using a Cure-All.
For the lunchbox, it has a random effect, so it’snot guaranteed to lift the Curse from your person, but it can help sometimes.
