SCUM’s 1.0 Update Brings the Game to Xbox Platforms
The open-world zombie survival game, SCUM, which has been exclusively available on PC since its release in 2018, is now making its way to Xbox platforms with the upcoming 1.0 update. Developed by Dean Hall and team, this Jagex-backed game has been in early access for over five years.
Unique Premise and Character Customization
SCUM’s description on Steam highlights its goal to evolve the multiplayer open-world survival genre with “unprecedented levels of character customisation, control, and progression.” It has garnered a mostly positive reception from players, earning nearly 80,000 reviews on Steam.
Redesigned UI and Enhancements
The 1.0 update will bring significant changes to the game, including revamps to the user interface (UI), crafting mechanics, visuals, sounds, and overall stability. With the title’s departure from early access and its designation as a ‘1.0’ release, players can anticipate substantial improvements for SCUM.
Features and Gameplay
Set on a large, diverse map with multiplayer mechanics and a gameplay loop similar to DayZ and Rust, SCUM has thrived in the zombie survival niche for several years. The introduction of the Xbox edition with the 1.0 update could lead to an exciting escalation in the game’s popularity.
