Steam showed the game in Popular Upcoming Releases during this check, and review coverage appeared around the August 27 launch window, but the official pages are the source for the release facts below.
What is confirmed
Electronic Arts, StarWars.com, and Steam confirm these points:
- EA says Star Wars Zero Company is a single-player turn-based tactics game developed by Bit Reactor in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games.
- EA says it launches August 27, 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
- Steam lists the release date as August 27, 2026 and showed a live pre-release unlock countdown during this check.

The useful reader question is not just “is it out?” It is whether the game is the PC/console tactics release, which edition is being sold, what account requirements apply, and whether your PC meets the listed target.
What is still unknown
Some details need a post-launch check on your own platform:
- The exact unlock time in every region and console storefront.
- Whether the Steam review score changes quickly after public release.
- Whether a day-one patch changes storage, performance, or known issues.
- Steam Deck verification. Steam did not list a verified Steam Deck status in the checked page.
- Exact local pricing outside the US.
- Whether console storefronts show the same bonus wording and refund terms as Steam.
- How stable the PC version is after the public launch build is live.
If you are buying at launch, check recent user reviews and patch notes after the unlock, not only pre-release review coverage.
Editions and pre-order bonuses
EA and Steam list a Standard Edition and a Deluxe Edition.
| Edition | PC price listed by EA | Console price listed by EA | What it adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Edition | $49.99 | $59.99 | Base game; pre-order bonus if bought before release |
| Deluxe Edition | $59.99 | $69.99 | Base game plus additional Clone Wars-era cosmetic packs and weapon themes |
The pre-order bonus named by EA and Steam is the Crystalline Astromech Cosmetic Pack. Steam describes it as including the R3 droid, translucent astromech heads for R4 and R5 variants, and the BR-1 droid.
The Deluxe Edition does not appear to add story content in the checked sources. It is described as cosmetic content and weapon themes. If you only care about missions, platforms, and PC requirements, the Standard Edition is the simpler purchase.

Account and platform notes
Steam’s legal text says an internet connection, EA Account, Steam Account, and acceptance of EA’s user agreement are required to play the Steam version. It also says you must link your EA and Steam accounts.
That does not mean every console step is identical, but it does mean PC buyers should check account linking before purchasing. If you avoid third-party account requirements, read the Steam page and EA terms before buying.

What kind of game is it?
Star Wars Zero Company is a single-player squad tactics game. EA says players command Hawks and Zero Company in a Clone Wars-era story, recruit and progress Operators, upgrade facilities at a base called The Den, and choose missions from a holotable.
Steam tags include turn-based tactics, turn-based strategy, sci-fi, single-player, strategy, turn-based combat, tactical, PvE, character customization, isometric, cinematic, RPG, and strategy RPG.
EA says customization includes Hawks and recruited Operators, with eight Star Wars species listed in the press release: Devaronian, Human, Neimoidian, Ovissian, Togruta, Twi’lek, Weequay, and Zabrak.
Buying checklist
Before buying on launch day:
- Open the official Steam, EA, PlayStation, or Xbox page for your country.
- Confirm whether the game has unlocked on that store.
- Check the edition name before buying; cosmetic editions can look similar in store search.
- Verify the EA account or platform account requirements.
- Compare your PC to the 16 GB RAM minimum and 50 GB storage listing.
- Read recent post-launch user reviews if performance matters to you.
- Avoid unofficial “free download” pages, key resellers you do not trust, or reposted installers.
If you are buying mainly for handheld PC play, wait for Steam Deck reports or use Steam’s official refund policy window carefully.
