STAR WARS Zero Company Release Date: Release Time, Early Access, Platforms

STAR WARS Zero Company releases on August 27, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Set during the twilight of the Clone Wars, this single-player turn-based tactics game swaps lightsaber reflexes for careful positioning, squad building, and the occasional extremely satisfying rocket strike. You will lead a customizable former Republic officer named Hawks and an unconventional crew through the hidden war beneath the galaxy’s biggest conflict.

Here is everything you need to know about the STAR WARS Zero Company release date, global release time, supported platforms, editions, and Early Access situation before deployment.

STAR WARS Zero Company Release Date at a Glance

Event	Date
Initial game announcement	April 19, 2025
Gameplay trailer and release date revealed	June 5, 2026
Pre-orders opened	June 5, 2026
Collector’s Edition announced	July 25, 2026
Worldwide release	August 27, 2026

The game was originally introduced with a broad 2026 window before its summer gameplay reveal locked in the final launch date. Thankfully, this is no longer one of those mysterious “coming sometime next year” situations—the squad is almost ready to deploy.

 

What Time Does STAR WARS Zero Company Release?

The official launch is scheduled for 3:00 PM UTC on August 27, 2026. Unlike a rolling midnight release, this creates one shared worldwide unlock time, which means players in Asia and Australia will enter the battlefield late at night or just after midnight.

Here is the expected regional schedule:

Region	Local Release Time
US West Coast	August 27, 8:00 AM PDT
US East Coast	August 27, 11:00 AM EDT
UK	August 27, 4:00 PM BST
Central Europe	August 27, 5:00 PM CEST
India	August 27, 8:30 PM IST
Singapore / China	August 27, 11:00 PM
Japan / South Korea	August 28, 12:00 AM
Australia East Coast	August 28, 1:00 AM AEST

Individual console stores may display the countdown in your local time zone, so do not panic if the date appears as August 28 in some regions. It is still part of the same global launch.

 

Can You Play STAR WARS Zero Company Early?

No Early Access or Advanced Access period has been announced. Both the Standard and Deluxe Editions unlock at the regular worldwide release time.

Edition	US Price (PC)	Early Access	Pre-Order Bonus
Standard Edition	$49.99	No	Crystalline Astromech Cosmetic Pack
Deluxe Edition	$59.99	No	Crystalline Astromech Cosmetic Pack

The Deluxe Edition adds the Grand Army of the Republic Cosmetic Pack, Shadow Collective Cosmetic Pack, and five exclusive painted weapon themes. These are customization extras rather than extra campaign missions or an earlier start.

For most players, the Standard Edition looks perfectly complete. The Deluxe upgrade makes more sense if you enjoy decorating your squad with Clone Wars-inspired armor, tattoos, helmets, and weapon designs. Just do not buy it expecting to sneak onto the battlefield a few days ahead of everyone else—the launch order applies to the whole company.

Once you know how much the extra cosmetics matter to you, price is the next thing worth comparing.

What Platforms Is STAR WARS Zero Company On?

Platform	Availability
PC	EA app, Steam, Epic Games Store
PlayStation	PlayStation 5
Xbox	Xbox Series X|S

There are currently no announced PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or Nintendo Switch versions. The game is being developed around current-generation consoles and PC, so players on older hardware will need to upgrade platforms before joining Hawks and the crew.

It is also a dedicated single-player experience. There is no competitive multiplayer or co-op campaign to organize around launch, which is probably good news for anyone who prefers spending twenty minutes perfecting one turn without a teammate shouting, “Just take the shot!”

 

What Is STAR WARS Zero Company About?

Set near the end of the Clone Wars, the story follows Hawks, a customizable former Republic officer leading Zero Company—an independent squad hired for covert investigations and tactical operations.

Your team combines recruitable Custom Operators with story-driven companions, including Clone Trooper Trick, Jedi Padawan Tel-Rea Vokoss, Mandalorian warrior Cly Kullervo, and Umbaran sniper Luco Bronc. Together, they hunt Kundri Fathom, leader of the Separatist-aligned Infinite Coil.

The main campaign is expected to last around 30 to 40 hours. Although the overall storyline is linear, your mission decisions, squad composition, injuries, and character relationships can change individual moments along the way.

 

How Does STAR WARS Zero Company Play?

Unlike the real-time action of STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor or STAR WARS Outlaws, Zero Company puts you behind the holotable in isometric, turn-based battles.

Each Operator receives three Action Points per turn for movement, attacks, abilities, equipment, and Overwatch. Cover, high ground, flanking, and positioning all affect your chances of surviving—and landing the perfect shot.

Successful attacks build Advantage, a shared resource used for powerful abilities such as extra Action Points, accuracy boosts, and rocket strikes. You can also combine skills, like Force-pushing an enemy out of cover and straight into a teammate’s Overwatch zone.

Mistakes have lasting consequences. Operators receive an Injury when downed, and suffering three Injuries results in permanent death on standard difficulty.

Between missions, you return to the Den to recruit and customize Operators, heal injuries, improve facilities, upgrade equipment, and develop Bonds between squad members. Stronger Bonds unlock combat bonuses and Cross Training benefits.

For me, this mix of tactical combat, squad relationships, customization, and cinematic storytelling is the game’s biggest hook. It feels like a proper Star Wars campaign built around strategy, rather than familiar mechanics wearing a galactic costume.
