In September, it was reported that the studio had<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/the-studio-behind-star-wars-zero-company-which-is-currently-a-steam-bestseller-has-reportedly-furloughed-the-majority-of-its-staff\/\"> furloughed up to 80% of its staff<\/a> in the weeks leading up to Zero Company&#8217;s launch, with the studio having reportedly &#8220;run out of most of its money&#8221; ahead of the game&#8217;s launch. At the time, former senior technical artist Zachariah Scott said the project was built with &#8220;shocking austerity&#8221;. Scott also accused Bit Reactor of &#8220;concealing the fact that the team was furloughed weeks ago&#8221; after the company made the announcement.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"high\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/WxLUZ1omFA8\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Within a month, Zero Company had sold one million copies and Bit Reactor subsequently announced it had hired back some of its staff. In a<a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/bitreactor.com\/post\/3mxcgabtzjk2b\" target=\"_blank\"> statement<\/a> posted on Bluesky, CEO Greg Foertsch stated that the furlough had been a response to &#8220;unexpected business developments outside of our control&#8221; and &#8220;necessary to help us eventually bring as many people back as we can&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, though, Zero Company&#8217;s commercial performance hasn&#8217;t been enough to bring back everybody. Which is a shame, considering that Zero Company is by all accounts a brilliant Star Wars adventure. Resident word Jedi Ted Litchfield called it &#8221; one of the best games of 2026 and a new all-timer Star Wars videogame&#8221; in his<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/strategy\/star-wars-zero-company-review\/\"> Star Wars Zero Company Review<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Zero Company isn&#8217;t the only knockout Star Wars game to release this year either, with<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/uk\/star-wars-galactic-racer\/\"> Star Wars: Galactic Racer<\/a> providing a similarly scintillating experience in a galaxy far, far away.
