Cairn Climbs to 200K in Four Days, Kickstarting 2026
TL;DR Summary
New PS5 climbing game Cairn from The Game Bakers has sold over 200,000 copies in four days after its January 29 launch, marking a strong start to 2026. The game is praised as a tactile climbing simulator with freedom to explore a full mountain and a deliberately slow pace, though the PS5 version suffers frame-rate drops (PC is preferable until patches land).
