What it costs
On Steam UK, SCUM costs £39.99 at standard price. Steam also lists optional DLC packs for the game; we haven't recorded their prices on this page.
Age rating
SCUM has no PEGI or ESRB rating: pegi.info has no entry for it. The ratings in Valve's Steam store data are 18 in Germany (for graphic violence, sexual content and drugs) and 18 in Brazil (DEJUS), and the game is listed as banned in Indonesia. Steam's own notice says it contains "violence, blood and gore, nudity (which can be disabled in game), alcohol and some drugs". These are adult ratings, well above our usual 12+ line, so treat it as a game for adults.
Crossplay
SCUM has no crossplay, because it only exists on one platform: PC, through Steam. The official site sends buyers to Steam only, and Valve's store data doesn't list cross-platform multiplayer for it. Console versions for Xbox and PlayStation were announced in 2023, but none had a release date when we checked.
How we checked
The crossplay answer is from the official site and Valve's Steam store data, read on 3 November 2026.
We read the Steam UK listing, Valve's Steam store data, Steam Charts and pegi.info on 30 October 2026.
