Scum sells a million in less than three weeks

September 18, 2018 Scum has sold over a million copies, and players are getting free stuff in celebration.

The survival genre is doing more than surviving, if the latest Scum sales numbers are anything to go by. Scum has now sold over 1 million since launching less than three weeks ago, and developer Gamepires is celebrating by giving away golden guns and digital watches. Until September 25, all players will get a golden Desert Eagle with “1 million” engraved on the side. “Players can get your gun through your prison wallet, the first time nature calls,” the devs say. If you’ve sprung for a Supporter Pack, you’ll also get the Nice Watch, regardless of when you log in. Promo art in the official announcement shows the watch locked at 4:20, though apparently it will tell the current time in the actual game. It’ll get “more useful features” in future updates, hopefully including a toggle to leave it at 4:20 all the time. The million mark means Scum has continued to sell well after putting up impressive numbers early on. It sold 700,000 copies during its launch week, and even with the expected slowing of sales after release, it's still going strong.
