Beginner's Guides
Start here — creator walkthroughs pulled from YouTube auto-captions.
Dantics
EA-commissioned intro covering combat, companions, bonds and the Den. You go first each fight, spend 3 AP per operative in any order, and build Advantage for assist shots that always hit.
Arekkz Gaming
From Bit Reactor (XCOM / XCOM 2 / Midnight Suns veterans): switch to top-down for sightlines, use cover + overwatch, lean on Bonds, and turn the tide against the Infinite Coil and Shadow Plague.
Core Systems at a Glance
Key battleground mechanics verified from official technical deep dives.
The Den
Your mobile base: Office, The Pit, Memorial, Armory, Personnel, Recruitment, Upgrade Station and Medbay. Spend Focus Points, raise bonds, buy at the Black Market, and keep construction running.
Cycles
The campaign runs on three-phase cycles: explore The Den, run Holo-map Operations, then one tactical mission. Timers mean missions expire — you can never do everything in one playthrough.
Bonds & Permadeath
Paired Operators grow bonds into combat synergy. But injuries compound, and a dead Operator is gone for good — written into the Memorial.
Tactical Depth
Percentage hit chances, cover, elevation, Backup partners, Overwatch interrupts, Advantage farming and Focus Points keep every deployment a puzzle.
Quick Answers
The questions players ask most, answered from verified facts only.
What is STAR WARS Zero Company?
Star Wars Zero Company is a new Star Wars game — a single-player turn-based tactics title from Bit Reactor (XCOM veterans), set in the aftermath of the Clone Wars. No multiplayer — you command Zero Company through a 30–40 hour campaign.
When was Zero Company released?
Star Wars Zero Company release date: August 27, 2026 — launched on PC (Steam / Epic / EA), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S as a full release with no early-access phase.
Is Zero Company like XCOM?
Yes, with a twist. The XCOM-style cover and Overwatch systems are there, but hit percentages are replaced by guaranteed damage plus an Advantage economy that rewards aggressive positioning.
Is Zero Company on Nintendo Switch 2?
Star Wars Zero Company Switch 2 — no. The game launched on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only; no Switch 2 version has been announced.
Are there Jedi in Star Wars Zero Company?
Yes. Star Wars Zero Company Jedi appear in the Clone Wars aftermath setting — Tel-Rea Vokoss is the squad's Jedi Padawan, and the campaign features Jedi survivors among the characters you meet, though your commanded squad is built from clone officers, mercenaries and bespoke soldiers rather than Force users.
Is Zero Company on Game Pass?
Not at launch. EA Play Pro subscribers do get it on PC; the standard game is $49.99 (Deluxe Edition $59.99).
Does Zero Company run on Steam Deck?
Poorly. Launch benchmarks measured 11–25 FPS at the lowest settings. Valve has not verified it — streaming from a gaming PC is the practical option.
What engine does Zero Company use?
Unreal Engine 5, with DLSS / FSR / XeSS / TSR upscaling, frame generation and 21:9 ultrawide support on PC.
What was the pre-order bonus?
The Crystalline Astromech Cosmetic Pack — crystal-finished R3 and R4/R5 droids plus a new BR-1 unit, for the squad's droid slots.
