- Players can sign up via Discord for alpha playtests beginning in May, with the title confirmed for Game Pass on Windows and Xbox platforms at launch.
- The Xbox Games Showcase on June 7 positions Microsoft to reveal substantially more about State of Decay 3, six years after the initial announcement.
