Popular Early Access survival game SCUM is nearing its 1.0 launch after years of updates from developer Gamepires, and we have an update on the console version ahead of the full launch. When a fan asked about an Xbox version on Twitter, the official dev team confirmed that is it "coming with the 1.0 release!"

SCUM has flown under the radar for us a little bit, but we're absolutely interested in an Xbox version here. This open world survival shooter has been a labour of love for the dev team since its Steam Early Access introduction in 2018, and we're intrigued by how it'll shape up on console.

We shouldn't have too long to wait for the Xbox release either! The game hit version 0.9 in August, so the release of version 1.0 should only be a matter of months away at this stage. We don't have a date yet, but we'll be keeping our eyes peeled for official confirmation of an Xbox launch date soon.

In the meantime, here's a bit more about what SCUM is bringing to its early access player base on PC:

"SCUM aims to evolve the multiplayer open world survival game with unprecedented levels of character customization, control and progression, where knowledge and skills are the ultimate weapons for long-term survival.

Combining the methodical planning and management of hardcore survival with optional PvP ‘network events’ available to everyone at anytime, SCUM strikes a unique balance between complex simulation and intense action in the next generation of survival game."
