Happy Monday, prisoners! Here's a new dev update on your favorite survival game to ease you into the new week!




The programming team has been working on a wide variety of features and fixes. Some crashes caused by gardening are being fixed, along with some reflection probes that weren’t set up properly. Puppet behavior has been tweaked for when they are chasing you (more on that in one of our upcoming updates), and we’ve fixed some bugs related to their behavior when you’re attacking them with a flamethrower. Also, some additional optimizations to the puppet spawns have been added. Multiple UI improvements and additions have been developed for better localization support, as well as subtitles for trader and DLC character dialogues. Snappin... Read more

The programming team is warming up their fingers and gearing up for this year's release!

Additionally, player collisions are being modified in custom zones, and there are some new developments in the anti-cheat segment—but more on that when we can give out details, NDAs and that. It goes without saying that a significant effort has been invested in bug fixing as wel... Read more

I'd thought of opening this years first community showcase with a "did you miss me?", but I think I'll save that for another time, when I'm in the mood for the sound of crickets. Anyhow, I know you can't bear to wait any longer to see what the community has been up to lately. Check it out! ->

Hello everyone, happy Monday! We are back with a new Dev update! Check it out!


It is good to be back! First of all we wish you all a wonderful 2025 year! We are back in the office in full strength now and ready to hit it again. As we already stated, this year is our year to finally release SCUM from Early Access into full release. So we are now full steam ahead, all hands on deck, no mountain too high, no valley to low and all other Instagram quotes you can think of here.

So you can expect us to be more and more active again, with more and more interesting stuff from us. And we will need you as well as your feedback will be one of the key elements on the path to 1.0 as it has always been. So see you in the forums, chats and everywhere else and let us sprint together to the finish line.

Next week back to the regular dev updates, so do not worry...

Hello everyone happy Friday! Hope you are all good! Let us end the week with a nice little Dev update, special edition! ->


This one will be a different one to what you are used to see. AS it is more of an announcement rather than what we were doing. What we were doing are hotfixes as you could see the past couple of weeks. Now at the end of the year we will allow our selves some time to rest and look to the future.

But let us recap on 2024. and how it was for us as well. First thing that is noticeable is the slower more spaced out pace of updates, and the result was more quality in them as well. Added awesome new features, optimized old ones and long awaited stuff has finally made it into the game. Even the long awaited release window was announced.

Alas now it is time for us, after long overtimes, crunches, caffeine overdrives, to have our o... Read more

Hello everyone, it is Friday! We are releasing a small hotfix for a crucial issue and also an update on the servers that were down since last update. Check it out! ->


To start off we have noticed, as you have as well, that since yesterday some of our official servers did not update correctly, This was due to G Portal update system failing to, well, update them. Hopefully this is resolved now and you will be able to play on them. Do keep in mind that due to that we have decided to do a rollback of all affected servers to exact time before the hotfix, so you do not loose anything due to this. Thank you for understanding.

• Fixed the issue where mounting vehicles could sometimes cause a server crash.

Hey there, SCUM community! Hope you've started preparations for the holidays and that you're enjoying the new update. Here's a quick look at what the team's been up to last week!




This will be quick. There are still some things that need to be taken care of since the release of the new update, which is why the programmers are exclusively focused on bug fixing. And when I say 'programmers,' I literally mean all of them. It's all hands on deck to make the update and all the features that came with it work as smoothly as possible.

Hello everyone, happy Thursday! Hope you are enjoying 0.96! We are deploying a hotfix for the more critical issues with an unfortunate announcement as well. Check it out! ->


Since the release of the 0.96 we have seen an increase of feedback as well. This is awesome as it helps out a lot for our GD to make changes and balance things out, so keep it coming. We would also like to ask you, if possible to have screenshots and even better videos, ready so we can nail it down.

One thing we saw was happening was overwhelming exploit to take down mechs and get high end loot easy. This will be fixed this update and unfortunately we will have to take a measure here. Hence all high end loot gained from mechs in this way will be removed. This was a better option as the alternative would be another wipe and we do not want to punish legitimate players.
