We've been looking forward to playing Scorn for some time here at Pure Xbox, and the fact that it launches day one on Game Pass is icing on the cake! Well, that (disgusting) cake is about ready to come out of the oven, as the game is now available to pre-install.
Over on Xbox Series X, we're looking at an 18GB download - there or there abouts. This is considerably less than we expected to be honest, especially with the size of next-gen games these days!
Recently, the horror-puzzle-shooter had its release date brought forward by a week, moving it up to October 14th. An earlier release date is typically a good sign, so let's hope this one delivers on Xbox Series X and S when it arrives in just a few days' time!
Will you be installing Scorn right away? Do let us know down in the comments below.

Hopefully it's better than what the pre-views are saying.
I’ve had it pre-installed for days. I’m looking forward to trying the game out on Friday.
I hope this is good. I’ve been looking forward to it for ages. Will throw the Xbox on when I get chance and pre download. Cheers.
@UltimateOtaku91 Links? I haven’t seen any major publications talk about their impressions in the game except from a month or two back, and they weren’t even impressions — just a preview.
@UltimateOtaku91 previews are a mixed bag so far. But plenty really liked it for what it is - an atmospheric exploration game that doesn't lead you by the hand - as opposed to what it isn't, but they want it to be. This one by SkillUp is probably my favourite and most balanced.
@themightyant I’ve said it before many times and I’ll say it again: Scorn is going to be the next “The Medium”. That’s my two cents, anyway.
Some previews are out and they say exactly how I thought this game would be. "Boring puzzle game with no talking and hardly any combat".
@BlackMayge Maybe. That was my view at first, and I really disliked The Medium. But the more I see of it, and taken on it's own merits, I think there could be an enjoyable experience here. BTW that doesn't mean it will be a good game per se, I think the gameplay will be lacking, but not every game has to be some fluid shooter or have a wonderful gameplay loop. If it engrosses us in a visceral world for a few hours, and is a memorable experience, that alone can be enough.
I'm looking forward to finding out.
If the reviews are ok I might check this out just to look at the cool designs.
@BlackMayge "they weren’t even impressions — just a preview"
And that's why I said pre-views in my comment.
There's a few pre view articles online from a month a go and some YouTube pre views as well which show off about an hour of the game.
@themightyant yeah but a mixed bag isn't a bad thing though, and I like the art design and atmosphere this game has. Only thing putting me off is that it's giving me strong Agony vibes which to me wasn't very good.
@UltimateOtaku91 Oh, gotcha. I’ll go watch some YouTube previews then; all I’ve done was read some previews.
@BlackMayge this is one I watched more recently which is pretty good.

@BlackMayge I think you could be right with the comparison to The Medium. I think Scorn is going to split opinion, I definitely don’t think it’s going to be for everyone. Will be interesting to see the reviews towards the end of the week.
