State of Decay 2 Now at 2 Million Players

Microsoft Studios and Undead Labs are so thrilled to announce today that State of Decay 2; less than two weeks from global launch, has now reached 2 million player milestone!

The team at Microsoft Studios and Undead Labs are incredibly grateful to the strong community of players who have already joined in on the fight for survival.

With so many players enjoying the game, they’ve seen some interesting trends and data since their previous milestone of 1 million players. So far, survivors have eliminated close to 2 billion zombies! That’s a lot of undead conquered! They’ve also seeing lots of successful survivor stories.

Last week, players tended to survive about three days on average; and as of note, they’ve seen players complete over 121,000 community stories and start brand new communities; with a new map that includes extra bonuses to help kickstart their new survival challenge. This shows an incredible commitment to the game and Microsoft Studios and Undead Labs are excited so many of you are enjoying the rich survival experience that State of Decay 2 offers.

The entire Microsoft Studios and Undead Labs teams have been working hard; to bring all 2 million players bug fixes, gameplay tune-ups, and quality of life improvements with our latest game patch released last Friday. They have always listening to their fans to improve the game experience; and will continue to bring updates and additional content as you explore all that State of Decay 2 has to offer.

The sequel to the original smash hit, State of Decay 2 puts players in small-town America, one year from the end of everything. The dead have risen and civilization has fallen. Not even the military could stop the zombies, and now it’s up to you to gather survivors and build a community in a post-apocalyptic world – a world where every decision matters, and where you define what it means to survive. The game builds upon the unique blend of open-world exploration, third-person action, and survival-fantasy role-playing pioneered in the original game. There is an overarching story told in the form of structured mainline and optional sidequests; but the world itself is shaped by your actions. With dynamically generated content based on your choices and the ever-increasing zombie threat.  

If you haven’t joined the community just yet, now’s a great time to get in on all the action! In addition to playing it with an Xbox Game Pass membership (available for the low monthly price of AU$10.95); you can purchase the Standard Edition for AU$49.45 and the Ultimate Edition for AU$69.95As an Xbox Play Anywhere game, one digital purchase gets you both the Xbox One and the Windows 10 version of the game.

They look forward to welcoming even more players into the world of State of Decay 2; and continuing to support the growing community with further content updates and downloadable content in the future.

Microsoft Studios and Undead Labs are excited and humbled to see more survival stories in State of Decay 2. How will you survive?
