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.
