State of Decay 3 on PS5
Yes — State of Decay 3 is officially coming to PlayStation 5, the first PlayStation release in the series' history. The PS5 version was announced at the Xbox Games Showcase on June 7, 2026, sharing the February 2027 release window with Xbox and PC. State of Decay (2013) and State of Decay 2 (2018) never appeared on a PlayStation platform; the third game breaks that pattern.

The Game Pass catch for PS5 players
On Xbox and PC, State of Decay 3 is a day-one Game Pass title — subscribers there play at no extra cost. There is no equivalent on PlayStation: no subscription service has been announced for the PS5 version, so PS5 players should expect to buy the game outright once pre-orders open. No price has been announced for any platform as of June 11, 2026.
Co-op across platforms
State of Decay 3 supports 4-player online co-op in a shared world (co-op details). Media reports mention full cross-play, but Undead Labs has not published official cross-play details — so whether PS5 players can squad up with Xbox and PC friends is best treated as "reported, not confirmed" for now. We'll update this page the moment that's official.
Mini FAQ
Does PS5 launch at the same time as Xbox and PC? The February 2027 window was announced alongside the full platform list, and nothing suggests a staggered launch. No platform has an exact date yet — storefronts still show no date at all.
Can I pre-order State of Decay 3 on PS5? Not yet — as of June 11, 2026, every storefront is wishlist-only.
Why is an Xbox-published game on PS5? Undead Labs is a Microsoft-owned studio and Xbox Game Studios is the publisher — the PS5 release is official, announced by Xbox itself at its own showcase.
