The State of Decay 3 development team has confirmed that the game's Beta test is in preparation, with the first round open exclusively to PC players. PS5 and Xbox console players will need to wait for subsequent arrangements. The team still needs to finalize a few adjustments to the test build and expects to announce the specific testing schedule in the coming days.
The platform rollout order for this phase is the same as the previous Alpha test. The development team has not yet announced a confirmed start date for the Beta test, nor have they revealed when console platforms will be able to participate.
Interested players can sign up now and join the waitlist when it opens. Signing up does not guarantee access to the test; players will still need to wait for further announcements.
State of Decay 3 takes place many years after the initial outbreak of the zombie apocalypse. Players will work together with friends to build settlements and face new threats as survivor communities. This Beta test will allow players to experience new mechanics and systems added to the game, though specific details about these features have not yet been disclosed.
