State of Decay 2 Preload Live, Achievements and PC Requirements Revealed
Xbox gamers can now preload their biggest exclusive in the first half of 2018: State of Decay 2. While the highly anticipated sequel doesn’t release until May 22, players can get a head start and have it already installed so they can immediately start playing rather than having to wait for a huge file to download. As a side-effect to the preload going live, the official State of Decay 2 achievements and PC requirements have also gone live.
As an Xbox One Play Anywhere title, State of Decay 2 will feature cross-platform play on Xbox One and PC. Not only will players on different systems be able to play together, but those who game on consoles and PC will only need to buy one copy of the title to play on both. Cross-save functionality ensures that players get a seamless experience, even when jumping between the two ecosystems, the same as it was for Sea of Thieves earlier this year.
State of Decay 2 on PC requires Windows 10 and Direct X version 11 installed with at least 2 GB of video memory and 8 GB of RAM (although they recommend having double of both amounts). As far as processors go, Microsoft recommends either the AMD FX-8350 or i5 4570 at 3.2 GHz, although the minimum is either the AMD FX-6300 or Intel i5-2500 at 2.7GHz. Finally, the recommended graphics cards are the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 and AMD Radeon R9 380 (with the minimum being the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 or AMD Radeon HD 7870).

Considering Microsoft’s sparse line-up of exclusive titles this year and last, there’s a lot riding on State of Decay 2. Thankfully for them, the achievements indicate that there’ll be plenty to do and see within the multiplayer zombie survival game. As long as the gameplay can hold up its end of the bargain then Microsoft will have a much needed success in their 2018 catalog.
State of Decay 2 releases May 22, 2018 exclusively on Xbox One and PC.
