With Xbox's State of Decay 3 on the horizon, updates for its predecessor are ending after 6 years: "We’re excited to devote ourselves to making the next game even better"

State of Decay 2.

What you need to know

• State of Decay 2 is a 2018 open-world survival game set in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. Released as an Xbox console exclusive by Undead Labs, it's been continuously updated for six years.
• Now, though, Undead Labs is ending support for the game as it shifts to fully focus on the upcoming sequel, State of Decay 3.
• State of Decay 2 will remain fully playable and purchasable (including through Xbox Game Pass), and existing saves and saved communities won't be affected. However, Undead Labs will be closing bug reports.
• Work on State of Decay 2 will officially end with one final patch: Update 38. This update will fix remaining bugs, implement some final improvements, and make content that was previously time-gated possible to loot at all times in the game's open world.
• Update 38's specific release date is unclear at the time of writing, though Undead Labs says it's coming "later this year."
