Undead Labs’ State of Decay 3 is set to release next year, almost a decade after the previous installment, and ahead of launch, players will have the chance to test the game in beta.
State of Decay 3 will take players to a time when the zombie apocalypse has pushed humanity to the brink of extinction, several years after the initial outbreak. Players will take on the role of a community of survivors, working together to build settlements and defend against a new threat. Your decisions will shape the game, including where to live, what to build, and who to recruit. Players can test some of these systems in the upcoming beta.
How to Sign Up for State of Decay 3 Beta
Sign-ups for State of Decay 3 beta are now live; however, there is no guarantee of acceptance, as slots are limited. Once you sign up, you will be put on a waitlist.
The upcoming playtest is a closed beta, which means only a select few players will be able to check the game out, and that depends on whether the developers send them an invite.
Registering for State of Decay 3’s closed beta is simple; you can check out the steps below to learn how to sign up for it:
- Head to the official State of Decay 3 website
- Click on the ‘Sign Up for Waitlist’ option
- The website will then ask you to link your Discord
- Then players will need to verify their email.
- Once that is done, you will be put on a waitlist
- Players will then receive a short survey to fill out
- Slots are limited, so the dev team will only select players who have filled out this survey.
What Platforms is State of Decay 3 Beta Playtest On?
Right now, the developers are still making final tweaks to the beta build and will reveal exact timings soon. As with the Alpha playtest, the State of Decay 3 beta playtest will be available to PC players first. However, the developers have confirmed that the playtest will be expanded to PS5 and XBOX consoles in the future.
This is the first beta playtest of State of Decay 3 from Undead Labs. There may be more opportunities in the future, so if you are unable to participate in this one, be sure to watch for new announcements on the game’s official Discord.
