Overview
- Star Wars Zero Company, which launched Thursday, Aug. 27, 2026, is available on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S and opened to broadly positive critic scores that sit around an 86 on Metacritic.
- Reviewers consistently praise the game’s turn‑based, action‑point combat, cover and Overwatch systems and a cinematic presentation shaped by Bit Reactor with Respawn and Lucasfilm Games.
- The Den hub and recruitable operators earned special notice for strong character work, randomized hires with personality, and choice-driven Operations that shape mission access and narrative bonds.
- Critics flagged specific shortcomings: missions that can feel simple or repetitive at lower difficulties, class and balance quirks that let some builds dominate, and occasional AI, camera or technical bugs.
- The game ships at $49.99 on PC and $59.99 on consoles, includes permadeath and injury mechanics for recruits, and leaves unanswered questions about long‑term support such as DLC, modding and monetization plans.
