It has been incredible to see fans around the world supporting State of Decay 2 and the team at Xbox are excited to share that they have reached more than 2 million players in less than two weeks since the global launch on May 22.
With so many players enjoying the game, Xbox has seen some interesting trends and data since their previous milestone of 1 million players. So far, survivors have eliminated close to 2 billion zombies! They are also seeing lots of successful survivor stories. Last week, players tended to survive about three days on average, and as of note, players have completed 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.
The entire team has been working hard to bring all 2 million players lots of key fixes, gameplay tune-ups, and quality of life improvements with the latest game patch released last Friday. For further details on what’s changed see the full patch notes here.
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, you can purchase the Standard Edition for $29.99 and the Ultimate Edition for $49.99. As an Xbox Play Anywhere game, one digital purchase gets you both the Xbox One and the Windows 10 version of the game.
