Undead Labs Sale Casts Doubt on State of Decay 3's Day-One Game Pass

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.

Rumor: Undead Labs Could Be Shut Down as Microsoft Seeks Buyer for State of Decay 3 Studio

The 17-year-old studio reportedly faces layoffs of up to about 110 employees, with Microsoft reportedly seeking a buyer to keep the studio alive. State of Decay 3 was announced in 2020 and, after a lengthy wait, had its first gameplay trailer shown at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase; it’s slated for a 2027 release on Xbox, PlayStation 5, and PC. Microsoft has not commented on the rumors, which come amid wider industry chatter about studio layoffs.
