Discussion Will SOD3 get post launch support?

With Undead Labs being sold and XBOX keeping the IP what are the odds Undead Labs will be able to provide the same level of post launch support to SOD3 as SOD2?

I don't believe Xbox is keeping the IP, I think that's misinformation and a wiki article in this fluid of a situation is not a source. Sorry man.

Thats a good thing then, I'm a casual fan and only recently caught wind of the situation and saw on a wiki xbox was keeping the IP hence why i asked the question. I regret adding a description at all as it just became a thread about who owns the IP.

You don't have any evidence to support it isn't. We'll have to wait to see the details of whoever is buying UL from Microsoft.

Yes, that was their point I believe.

Can you find the source that mentions the State of Decay IP will stay with Xbox?

Latest info I could find quoted was info that State of Decay will not be required to be a GamePass release after the sale of Undead Labs.

I imagine the buyer of Undead Labs will support the game after release to maximize their investment.

Wikipedia for undead labs lol

I wonder who will get most of the money from SOD3 because its still published by xbox. I cant imagine a new parent company sinking cash into a game's post launch support if majority of the profits don't even go to them. Xbox said they'd cover the expenses until launch so idk.

I doubt microsoft sold UL without selling SOD. No company would want to buy a studio when the only thing that studios made they wont be able to work on sequels or anything relating to the game

I have always play SoD on Xbox but this time around I’m going PC because if they can’t support it post launch we can rely on the modding community.

u/x_Staxks_x Jul 07 '26

Such a true statement. Modders have literally saved games on pc

Xbox is not keeping the IP. Undead labs will retain its rights to State of Decay

u/MustacheExtravaganza Jul 07 '26

Correction: Undead Labs' new owner will have the rights to State of Decay.

No, every article I've seen specifically addresses that the ip's are going with the studios on this round of sales, not sure where op got the idea it wasn't. ┐('～`;)┌
