Undead Labs Sale Casts Doubt on State of Decay 3's Day-One Game Pass
TL;DR Summary
State of Decay 3 could miss its day-one launch on Game Pass after Microsoft announced it would sell Undead Labs; the deal frees the studio from Xbox-controlling terms, meaning Game Pass inclusion would depend on a separate agreement with the new owner, whose identity is expected to be revealed later this summer. The game, developed since 2020, is scheduled for 2027 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, occurring against a backdrop of wide Xbox layoffs and ongoing industry shifts.
