About SCUM

SCUM is an open-world survival game developed and published by Gamepires, a Croatian studio based in Zagreb. The game entered Steam Early Access on August 29, 2018, initially published by Devolver Digital, before publishing rights reverted to Gamepires in 2019. The studio was later acquired by Jagex in December 2022, providing the backing to carry the game through to its full 1.0 release on June 17, 2025, following hundreds of updates during its nearly seven-year Early Access run.

Players take on the role of a prisoner dropped onto a fictional island under the control of the TEC1 corporation, competing in an ongoing televised survival contest for the entertainment of a global audience. Before anything else, prisoners need to remove an implant that prevents them from leaving the island, all while fighting to survive against both the environment and each other. Fame points earned through survival and participation in scripted events let players purchase and trade higher-tier gear at designated safe zones scattered across the map.

The game's defining feature is the depth of its character simulation. Metabolism, muscle mass, vitamins, hydration, and stamina are all tracked individually and affect how a character performs. Injuries carry real consequences: losing teeth means finding a way to liquefy food before eating it, and even bathroom habits leave physical evidence that other players can use to track someone down. Wetness, smell, cooking, medicine, hacking, and poison all factor into the broader survival loop alongside more familiar systems like crafting and hunting.

The island spans 225 square kilometers of forests, beaches, fields, abandoned towns, and airfields, traversable on foot, by land vehicle, boat, or aircraft. Combat blends player skill with underlying stats like stamina and health, and the game supports switching between first and third-person views, though third-person is restricted from revealing anything not actually visible from a first-person perspective to prevent unfair peeking. PvP network events pull players into enclosed arenas for high-stakes fights, with fame points and valuable loot on the line. Up to 64 players can populate a single server, with the option to rent a private server directly through the in-game menu.

The 1.0 launch update introduced a full map rework with major visual improvements, armed NPCs that pose both threats and loot opportunities, new vehicles including a seaplane and sports bike, and significant anti-cheat improvements. The game has sold nearly 6 million copies as of early 2026.
