About

State of Decay (2013) is a third-person action RPG that stands out for blending zombie survival with base management and resource strategy. You'll lead a group of survivors in a dynamic open world where you fortify a home base, scavenge for supplies, and rescue other playable characters. The game's sandbox-style approach and emphasis on community survival make it a notable entry in the zombie survival genre.

Running State of Decay is quite accessible for modern systems, even older hardware. The game requires just 2 GB of RAM and an entry-level GPU to run smoothly, making it a great benchmark title for testing older graphics cards or lower-tier integrated graphics. You can expect solid FPS performance on modest GPUs, and even entry-level hardware will handle this game comfortably at standard graphics settings without demanding high-end performance.

With a 75/100 rating, State of Decay delivers a compelling mix of action and strategy that action-RPG fans will appreciate. If you enjoy zombie games with depth beyond pure combat and want an engaging survival experience, it's worth playing.

Performance profile

Released in June 2013, State of Decay sits in the DirectX 11 generation. Comfortable on any modern mid-range GPU at 1440p; even an RTX 3050 or RX 6600 typically delivers 4K60 at High settings.

Simulation titles like State of Decay are heavily CPU-dependent — physics, AI and world state dominate the frame budget. Prioritise a CPU with strong single-thread performance and fast RAM over raw GPU power.

Extremely light — State of Decay runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
