In May 2018, State of Decay 2 was released for the Xbox One and through the Windows 10 Store. It was a decent game that was marred by some unfortunate issues both technical and with respect to gameplay. Even with some of those shortcomings at launch, the game reviewed generally well.
Since then, the game has received numerous updates from the developers at Undead Labs. Now, Microsoft feels confident enough to bring State of Decay 2 to Steam. In "early 2020," Steam users will get to purchase and play through this sequel. If you haven't yet tried the first game, you can pick that up from Steam as well. It was released first in 2013 and then got a new package in 2015.
State of Decay 2 on Steam will include Xbox Live cross-play. That means you can play with up to three additional friends across Steam, Windows 10, and the Xbox One.
State of Decay 2 is an open-world survival-fantasy game for you and up to 3 co-op friends. After a zombie apocalypse, your small group of survivors seek to rebuild a small corner of civilization, and you get to make all the decisions about how that happens.
You decide who to recruit to your team, where to settle your community, how to fortify and upgrade your base, and when it’s time to move to greener pastures. You select which survivor to bring along on a scavenging run for the food and ammo you need, and who you’ll use to fight off the zombies attacking your base. You choose how you’ll deal with other people who move into your town. Will you be friendly and welcoming... or will you aggressively defend your territory?
Every player’s experience in the game is unique. Each character in your community has their own special set of skills and traits, so no two communities are ever the same. The challenges you face also vary from game to game, based on who you recruit and the decisions you make along the way.
