Star Wars Zero Company Pre-Orders Are Live, and the PC Specs Are Surprisingly Clear

Star Wars Zero Company is no longer just showing gameplay and waving from the future.

It is now up for pre-order, the editions are detailed, and PC players finally have some specs to stare at while pretending they were definitely not going to upgrade anyway.

EA’s official Star Wars Zero Company pre-order article confirms that pre-orders are live across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox ahead of the game’s August 27 release.

The good news? This does not look like another “please sell your landspeeder” pricing situation.

Standard and Deluxe Editions Explained

Pre-ordering either edition gives players the Crystalline Astromech Cosmetic Pack, which includes the R3 droid, crystalline astromech heads for R4 and R5 variants, and the new BR-1 droid debuting in Zero Company.

The Standard Edition keeps things simple: base game plus the pre-order bonus.

The Deluxe Edition adds several cosmetic packs inspired by the Clone Wars era. That includes the Grand Army of the Republic Cosmetic Pack, with a Republic Officer uniform, 100th Clone Company armor, and ARC Trooper armor. It also includes the Shadow Collective Cosmetic Pack, with a Pyke helmet and tattoos inspired by groups like the Pyke Syndicate, Hutt Cartel, Death Watch, Black Sun, and Crimson Dawn.

On top of that, Deluxe buyers get five painted weapon themes, including 100th Clone Company, Kafrene Informant, Black Sun Syndicate Enforcer, Bespin Security, and Separatist Warrior styles.

In plain Basic: this is mostly cosmetic. No obvious “pay more to play three days early” nonsense in sight.

PC Specs Look Manageable, Mostly

The Steam listing for Star Wars Zero Company lists the minimum requirement as an Intel Core i5-8400 or Ryzen 5 2600X, 16 GB RAM, and an Nvidia GTX 1080, Radeon RX 5600 XT, or Intel ARC B580. Storage is listed at 50 GB.

Recommended specs jump to an Intel Core i7-10700K or Ryzen 7 3700X, 32 GB RAM, and an Nvidia RTX 3080 or Radeon RX 7800 XT for 1440p at 60 FPS on High settings.

That is not feather-light, but it is also not completely absurd for a modern tactics game with cinematic presentation.

A Sensible Launch Setup

Between the lower-than-usual pricing, cosmetic-focused Deluxe Edition, and clear PC requirements, Zero Company is making a surprisingly clean first impression on the practical side.

The big question is still gameplay. The tactics need to feel deep. The squad needs personality. The missions need tension.

But as a package, this is already looking more sensible than many modern launches.

A Star Wars game with clear specs, no huge mystery box pricing, and cosmetics that do not appear to hijack the core experience?

Careful now. That almost sounds reasonable.
