State Of Decay 3 Confirms New Release Window & Closed Beta Plans
Undead Labs has officially confirmed that State of Decay 3 will launch in 2027 on multiple platforms including Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PC, and PlayStation 5. The announcement represents a significant cross-platform commitment for the zombie survival franchise, expanding beyond Xbox’s traditional ecosystem.
The developer has been actively refining the game through Alpha playtests conducted over recent months. Building on this momentum, Undead Labs plans to transition to a Closed Beta phase before the end of 2026, allowing players to register their interest through the State of Decay website. This phased testing approach represents a methodical development schedule leading up to the game’s full launch.
The timing of this announcement is notable as it comes amid news that Undead Labs will soon no longer be owned by Xbox. Despite this ownership transition, the 2027 release window appears to remain on track, suggesting continuity in the game’s development trajectory.
