State of Decay 3 to be released on PS5 - PlayStation fans can't believe their eyes

The PlayStation community is surprised by the appearance of Xbox game content on the official PlayStation YouTube channel, which came as unexpected and even joyful news for many.

The fact is that some of the audience does not follow Xbox presentations and Microsoft's strategy, so the video with State of Decay 3 on the PlayStation channel caused a strong reaction and surprise among players.

In recent days, Microsoft's new strategy has been actively discussed: the company retains some exclusives, such as Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution, but continues to release some Xbox Game Studios projects on other platforms – especially when it comes to games with an emphasis on online audience.

That's why State of Decay 3 will be released next year not only on Xbox and PC, but also on PS5. For many Sony players, this came as a surprise. In the comments under the trailer, users write that they did not expect to see the series on the PlayStation console.

This is not surprising: previous installments of the franchise were closely associated with the Microsoft ecosystem, and PS owners could only watch the series develop from the sidelines for a long time. Now the situation is changing.

For the series itself, this is also an important step. State of Decay 3 is positioned as the most ambitious installment, and its release on multiple platforms will help expand the audience and strengthen the multiplayer component. For games with long-term support, this is a key factor.

As a result, all sides benefit: PlayStation players gain access to a previously "closed" series, and developers gain access to a wider player base.
