What Is Scam With Your Friends?
Scam With Your Friends puts you inside a fictional scam call center. You talk to fictional AI callers in real time, use remote computer access and other in-game desktop tools, and try to keep the team on pace for a daily quota. The workday gets more chaotic as it goes, and the shift ends in a boss or performance review.
The official game supports single-player, online co-op with friends, and public lobbies. It is a run-based workplace simulation, not a list of redeem codes or a competitive scoreboard with published character stats. Steam App ID 4954910 is the listing to wishlist.
Official features also include workplace disruptions such as scambaiters, computer viruses, police raids, and air strikes, plus modding, JSON personalities, and WAV voice cloning. Broadband internet is required. The pages here stay with those public descriptions and do not invent payouts, lobby caps, or hidden systems.
Release Date and Early Access
Steam currently lists Scam With Your Friends for Early Access in October 2026 on Windows PC. An exact release day is not currently shown, so treat October as the official planned window rather than a guaranteed day. The launch is planned as Early Access, not as a finished 1.0 release. A developer note targets full release around mid-December 2026. That full-release window is a target, not a promised day.
The planned window can still move. On September 23, 2026, Steam carried an announcement that the game had reached 100,000 wishlists.
Read the release date guide for Early Access versus the full-release target, and for how to follow a change if the listing moves.
Playtest Keys and Access
Playtest signups are closed after more than 12,000 requests. Limited access has been granted in batches. A player who was accepted can invite up to three friends. The Steam page points people to Discord for playtest updates and for finding teammates.
Searching for a key, a code, a demo, or a free download does not uncover a public redeem list. There is no public redeem-code list or legitimate key generator. Playtest access is handled through Steam and official friend invites. The separate US$8 Unlimited AI purchase on the official Jatater page is not a game key and does not grant playtest entry.
The playtest access guide explains the current signup state, friend invites, and what that $8 purchase actually covers.
How to Play Scam With Your Friends
The game is not out of Early Access yet, so this is the official loop rather than a perfected route. The beginner guide goes through the same beats in more detail.
Talk to AI Callers
Calls come from fictional AI characters who respond to the conversation. The theme is real-time voice and improvisation. No official trust percentage or scripted payout has been published, so there is no magic phrase to memorize.
Use the In-Game Desktop
Remote access to the caller's computer is part of the fiction. The in-game desktop includes tools the scenario asks you to use, including a paint app, a screen recorder, and a camera. The current public game information confirms the desktop tools, while detailed tool stats and upgrade behavior are not yet listed.
Hit the Daily Quota
The team is working toward a daily quota. The exact number is not public. Progression is described as a run that moves into more chaotic workdays, not as a fixed checklist of item unlocks.
Survive the Review
The boss and performance review are the pressure at the end of the shift. Official framing includes the risk of being fired if the quota is missed. There is no published formula for the review score.
Price and the $8 Playtest AI Option
The retail price of Scam With Your Friends has not been announced. Steam currently shows a wishlist instead of a purchase price. Do not treat a third-party key listing as the official cost.
The US$8 charge on the Jatater Worldwide site is a one-time Unlimited AI option for the playtest, while that playtest service exists. The official terms say it is not a subscription, not a game key, not playtest entry, and not a purchase of the full game. It is tied to the verified Steam account. The full game is stated to include unlimited AI credits.
Developers currently expect the Early Access price and the full-release price to stay the same, but full-release pricing is not finalized and plans can change. That is not a promise that the price is locked. The price guide separates the game cost from the $8 playtest option.
Platforms and PC Requirements
The only announced platform is Windows PC via Steam. No official Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, or Roblox version has been announced. Steam Deck does not currently have a confirmed compatibility rating. Unknown is not the same as a statement that it can never run.
Steam's current minimum PC requirements are Windows 10 or 11 64-bit, an Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600, 3 GB RAM, a NVIDIA GTX 1060 6 GB or AMD RX 580, DirectX 11, broadband internet, and 5 GB of storage. The platforms guide answers the Xbox, PS5, mobile, Mac, and Roblox questions one by one.
