State of Decay 3 may no longer launch into Game Pass, now that Microsoft is letting developer Undead Labs go
State of Decay 3 may no longer launch day one on Game Pass following Microsoft's sale of developer Undead Labs. While Microsoft will continue to fund the game's development until its 2027 release on PC and consoles, the sale agreement frees the studio from "Xbox-controlling terms." The new owner of Undead Labs, to be revealed this summer, will decide the game's distribution, potentially requiring a new deal with Xbox for a Game Pass launch.
