What Scum is
Scum is a role-playing (rpg) game developed by Gamepires and released in 2025. It was published by Devolver Digital. It is available on PC (Microsoft Windows) only. It runs on Unreal Engine 4.
The premise, in the publisher's words
In a not-too-distant future where entertainment has turned bloodthirsty, the powerful TEC1 corporation transforms convicted prisoners into unwilling stars of the world’s most brutal survival show: SCUM. Dropped onto a deadly island, inmates must fight, hunt, craft, and outsmart both each other and the horrors engineered to keep viewers watching. Every kill, escape, alliance, and betrayal feeds the broadcast, earning fame, sponsors, and the faint hope of survival. But on SCUM Island, freedom is never guaranteed, death may not be the end, and every desperate choice is part of the show.
How it plays
It is played from a first person perspective. Its themes are action, open world, science fiction and survival. It supports multiplayer for up to 100 players online. Local play supports 1 players. Available modes: Co-operative, Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO), Multiplayer and Single player. There are 69 achievements to unlock.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5-4430 / AMD FX-6300, 16 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB / AMD Radeon RX 480 4GB. A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. Install size is roughly 80GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Scum launched on 17 June 2025, within three weeks of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Dune: Awakening, The Alters and Elden Ring Nightreign.
Released around the same time: Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Dune: Awakening, The Alters, Elden Ring Nightreign.
