Clarifying further,SCUMdeveloper Gamepires shared some player statistics. While exact sales figures aren’t present, 50,000 concurrent players are active on Steam (likely more, now). Using deductive reasoning, the game has sold at least 50,000 units. That is impressive for a game that couldn’t care less about your sanity.

The SCUM team is super grateful for your support at launch and the 50k concurrent players in game right now! Amazing.

While I may not have been big on the game at PAX this year, I’m happy it has found an audience. I was definitely taken aback by the attention to detail that Gamepires put intoSCUMand it seems like others are, too. The cost is also likely a factor since Gamepires isn’t charging a premium price for an unfinished game.
