State of Decay 3 Opens Alpha Sign-Ups for May Playtests

The tests mark the first public hands-on after years of sparse updates.

Overview

  • Undead Labs, which announced the move Friday, opened registration for alpha playtests that begin in May.
  • Players sign up at playtest.stateofdecay.com using an email and a Discord account, then complete a short survey for a chance at a limited first wave.
  • The technical alpha focuses on four-player co-op, new base-building and resource strategies, and heavier combat.
  • The studio plans multiple testing windows through 2026, and it says names will stay on file for future invites if you miss the first round.
  • The game targets Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC with expected Xbox Game Pass access, but there is still no release date after its 2020 reveal.
