Big news for zombie survival fans: State of Decay 3 might not make its way to Xbox Game Pass after Undead Labs’ recent change in ownership. This shift is a result of some major restructuring at Microsoft, which also announced layoffs affecting 3,200 employees.
Ninja Theory and Undead Labs are both moving to new ownership, according to Xbox CEO Asha Sharma. While this means continued funding for State of Decay 3, the game may not follow the usual path to Game Pass. This marks a significant change for fans expecting the game to launch on the subscription service, especially given how its predecessor was a day-one launch on Game Pass.
As fans anxiously await details about Undead Labs’ mysterious new owner, the gaming community is buzzing with speculation. This development also comes amid broader industry shifts, like Sony’s move toward digital-only gaming. As the dust settles, we’ll keep you updated on whether State of Decay 3 will break away from Game Pass tradition.
Stay tuned for more updates on this evolving story, especially as the reveal of Undead Labs’ new owner is expected later this summer. In the meantime, keep an eye on how these changes might affect other upcoming releases or services.
