About the game — TGN editorial note

SCUM is an open-world survival game pitched as a prison riot scenario, where convicts are dropped onto a hostile island. Staying alive means looting, crafting, hunting, building and fighting, and detailed character customization shapes the prisoner you play. Croatian studio Gamepires made it in Unreal Engine 4. It entered Steam early access in 2018 and reached its full release in June 2025.
