3 Apr
Summary
- State of Decay 3 playtests will begin in May with community input.
- Alpha tests will feature four-player co-op and new base-building strategies.
- The game is planned for release on Xbox and PC platforms.

State of Decay 3, initially announced nearly six years ago, remains in development at Undead Labs, contrary to speculation following Microsoft's restructuring. The studio will initiate alpha playtests in May, actively seeking community involvement. Franchise co-creator Brant Fitzgerald highlighted the importance of player feedback, stating, "community is survival." These upcoming tests will feature core gameplay elements such as four-player cooperative play, advanced base building strategies, and intense combat scenarios. Enthusiasts eager to experience the survival gameplay can register for the playtests on the game's website. While not all applicants will be chosen for the initial phase, Undead Labs plans to maintain a waiting list for future testing opportunities later in 2026. State of Decay 3 is slated for release on both Xbox and PC platforms.
