State of Decay 3 — PC System Requirements
Official system requirements have NOT been published yet. The Steam page (app 1340720) carries only a generic Windows 10 minimum/recommended placeholder — there is no real spec sheet for State of Decay 3 anywhere, as of June 11, 2026. What IS confirmed: the game runs on Unreal Engine 5 and comes to PC via Steam and Xbox PC in the February 2027 window.

When do the real specs appear?
PC requirements typically firm up when the Steam page fills out — which usually coincides with pre-orders opening and an exact release date (we track both). For a February 2027 title, that plausibly points to late 2026. The moment an official sheet exists, it replaces the estimate below, same day.
A grounded estimate (clearly labeled — NOT official)
Until Undead Labs publishes specs, the only honest reference points are the engine and the calendar: a 2027 open-world Unreal Engine 5 game with no last-gen console versions announced (the confirmed consoles are Xbox Series X|S and PS5). Based on what recent UE5 open-world releases ask for, a reasonable estimate:
- Minimum (1080p/30 ballpark): a mid-range GPU around the RTX 20-series / RX 5000 class, 16 GB RAM, and an SSD
- Recommended (1440p/60 ballpark): RTX 30-series / RX 6000 class or newer, 16–32 GB RAM, SSD
This is an estimate, not a spec sheet — do not buy hardware based on it. UE5 titles lean on fast storage and modern GPUs, but the official requirements could land lighter or heavier. When they publish, this section gets replaced and the news hub flags it.
