State of Decay 2 is a 2018 action-adventure survival video game developed by Undead Labs and published by Xbox Game Studios. The game is a followup to State of Decay and was released for Windows and Xbox One on May 22, 2018. Like its predecessor, players are tasked with building a community, managing resources and surviving against the horde of zombies.

State of Decay 2 received mixed reviews from critics, who praised its difficulty, musical score and combat, but criticized the technical issues and the lack of depth in the survival and management mechanics. The game had over 10 million players by August 2021.

An updated version, State of Decay 2: Juggernaut Edition, was released on May 22, 2020 and overhauled the original game's graphics and added a new map. A sequel, State of Decay 3, was announced at Xbox's 2020 Games Showcase and is in development.
