The PlayStation 5 version of first-person atmospheric horror game Scorn will launch on October 3, publisher Kepler Interactive and developer Ebb Software announced.
“We are incredibly excited to announce the release date for Scorn on PlayStation 5 and bring our nightmarish experience to a whole new set of players,” said Ebb Software game director Ljubomir Peklar in a press release. “We’ve taken full advantage of the DualSense’s capabilities to heighten the level of immersion when playing on PlayStation 5. From the haptic feedback of the controller which varies depending on the in-game sound and intensity of the situation to the adaptive triggers which make every tool and weapon feel unique. The introduction of these features take Scorn‘s horrors to a whole new level, gripping players in an entirely fresh way.”
An exclusive physical edition will also be available via select retailers for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series, distributed in partnership with Maximum Games. It includes the full game, a limited edition SteelBook case, the original soundtrack, and a digital art book.
Scorn first launched for Xbox Series and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG on October 14, 2022, as well as via Xbox Game Pass. Kepler Interactive and Ebb Software announced today that the game has surpassed two million players since launch.

About
Scorn drops its players into a nightmarish, dream-like world unlike any they’ve encountered before. With grotesque visuals inspired by the works of H.R. Giger, the goal in Scorn is to guide an unfortunate creature through a biomechanical labyrinth world on a journey of self-discovery. However, the ruins of whatever civilization existed there before, as well as the foul abominations calling the ruined halls their home, stand in its way.
By solving its puzzles and interacting with its strange denizens, players will make their way through Scorn‘s various themed areas. Navigate a world of striking visuals, unlock the secrets of its cruel machines, and come to understand what exactly the world of Scorn is and how your own fetid character fits into it.
Key Features
- An Ancient Alien World – Explore a visually impactful world walled with flesh and chitin, vast spaces populated by strange characters and the desolate, haunting imagery that populates Scorn‘s world. Though it may appear to be dead, everything in the world has a purpose.
- Full Immersion – Experience total immersion in Scorn‘s dream-like world with total body awareness. Objects are picked up with your hands and machines are visibly operated.
- Discover Devious Puzzles – With many of its doors locked, the only way forward in Scorn is to piece together the workings of its various contraptions. Use various items and skills to work through puzzles with unclear consequences and progress through Scorn.
- Pick Your Fights – With only three weapons to defend yourself with and a limited supply of ammunition, every fight in Scorn needs to be approached with resources in mind. Fire off too many shots at an abomination that is no threat and you may not have the means to defend yourself later.
