The new Battle Royale game that has taken the community by surprise SCUM is getting a new patch with many new features and bug fixes soon. The developers of the game have revealed the details of the new patch. SCUM is famous for introducing the most in-detail features to ever come to a Battle Royale game and it is also Devolver Digital’s biggest game launch ever.
They have managed to sell 1 million copies for the game and will be rewarded the players pretty soon with a special gift in the upcoming patch as they have announced a special prize for all the players supporting them. SCUM is currently in its Early Access yet it is also a stable game for being in Early Access. Being in Early Access means that the developers will continuously churn out new patches, add or delete game features regularly and cater to player feedback as the game gets through with its development.
Keeping this in mind, they have announced a new Patch 0.1.17.8766 for the game, which is this week’s patch for SCUM. It is coming with many new features and bug fixes. We have detailed all the new fixes, features and other information as released in the official patch notes of the game.
