PEAK 2.6.a Fixes Save-State Bugs and Randomizes Maps

PEAK patch 2.6.a, published October 2, 2026, replaces the current map pool with islands that the developers say are properly randomized. It also targets several bugs involving saved runs, reconnecting, and joining games.

Map pool and save fixes

Last week's maps were unusually consistent in biome selection, with each day featuring either all old or all new maps. The patch replaces the current map pool with properly randomized islands.

• Campfire saves in the Citadel should now track the state of luggage and other nearby objects correctly. The patch also fixes a bug that could erase the host’s run-based achievement progress when saving at a campfire, including progress toward the Gourmand badge.

• Players who reconnect after a run is continued from a save should no longer spawn dead when they should be alive. The patch also fixes a case where the Bugle of Friendship recharged unexpectedly.

• Some cases where an invalid room code left players stuck on a loading screen have been fixed. The developers also say non-host saves should be a little more consistent, but warn that item spawning may still be odd if someone other than the original host hosts a run from a save.

A cautious note on reviving

The patch notes say reviving may be less buggy, but the developers qualify this with uncertainty. They explain that work to support PEAK on consoles had led to bugs involving saved player and world states, such as reconnecting dead or losing items. They hope this patch resolves most remaining cases and ask players to report further problems through the Bug Reporting channel on the PEAK Discord.
