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).
The PS5 console-exclusive Cairn by The Game Bakers is on sale at the PS Store with launch discounts for PS Plus members (standard edition 10% off to $26.99; deluxe edition 8% off to $34.03). The game has strong reception (Metacritic 82/100; user rating 4.67/5 from ~5,000). The Game Bakers announced Cairn sold over 200,000 copies in its first weekend.
Cairn, a PS5/PC-exclusive from The Game Bakers, released Jan 29, 2026, scores 84 on Metacritic and ties with The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon as 2026’s top-rated game (not counting the DLC Cult of the Lamb: Woolhaven at 86). Cairn runs about 10–15 hours, costs $29.99 (PS Plus discount $26.99 until Feb 13), and offers no PS5 Pro enhancements, with strong user ratings on PlayStation Store (≈4.67/5).
Cairn, The Game Bakers’ new climbing sim, puts a female climber and a robo buddy on a mysterious mountain with inventory management and pitons guiding your ascent; the game is on Steam, with a demo praised for its demanding wall-as-boss pacing, signaling a stylistic shift from Haven and Furi.
