State of Decay 3 Beta Testing is live
The long-awaited return to the post-apocalyptic chaos is getting closer than ever. Undead Labs, the creators of the acclaimed State of Decay series, has officially opened the doors for players to dive into the next installment, State of Decay 3, through official beta testing.
The developers have confirmed their plans on how players will experience the new world, prioritizing the PC platform for the initial rollout of the beta. This early access opportunity allows the community to test the game in a controlled environment while Undead Labs puts the final finishing touches on the massive PC build.
Getting hands-on with the game isn’t as simple as clicking a link; aspiring testers must sign up directly through the official State of Decay website to be considered for an invitation. This process ensures that the early testers are properly vetted for the upcoming experience.
While PC is the immediate focus, Undead Labs is clearly planning a broad expansion of access. They intend to extend these crucial beta tests to the Xbox and PlayStation 5, promising wider accessibility for fans across all major console platforms down the line.
The development pipeline is clearly moving with momentum, with multiple public playtests already underway. This rapid progression suggests that the team is in a strong position as they prepare for the grand release.
Looking ahead, State of Decay 3 is slated for a major launch in 2027, targeting PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox consoles. Even with recent organizational shifts—including Undead Labs splitting from Microsoft and securing a new publisher—the commitment to making State of Decay 3 a day-one Game Pass title remains a key promise to the community.
The anticipation for State of Decay 3 has been building for some time, but the current stage, with active public testing and clear platform plans, suggests that the chaos is about to begin in a very well-tested setting.
