Confirmed Release Date
STAR WARS Zero Company launched on August 27, 2026. The source files name PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X|S. The Steam store also records August 27. This supports the date shown by the other sources.
How the Date Was Announced
The game was unveiled on April 14, 2025. A first look and trailer followed at Celebration Japan on April 19. The public target was still just 2026. The source notes gave no exact month or day at that stage.
The first gameplay trailer arrived at Summer Game Fest on June 5, 2026. It set the final date as August 27. Pre-orders opened at the same time. Players now had a fixed day instead of a broad 2026 window.

STAR WARS Zero Company Release Time
The launch guides report one shared unlock at 8:00 AM PDT on August 27. This was not a rolling midnight launch in each region. Players reached the game at the same overall moment. Their clocks and local dates could still look different.
PC Gamer listed 11:00 AM EDT for the US East Coast. It gave 4:00 PM BST for the UK and 5:00 PM CEST for Central Europe. A second guide gave the same main schedule. The matching reports support these times.
The supplied files do not include a direct EA launch-time page or image, so the schedule below is attributed to the collected launch reports. The table keeps their time-zone labels and does not add unlisted regional times.
Reported Regional Launch Schedule
| Region | Reported Local Time | Local Date |
|---|---|---|
| US West Coast | 8:00 AM PDT | August 27 |
| US East Coast | 11:00 AM EDT | August 27 |
| UK | 4:00 PM BST | August 27 |
| Central Europe | 5:00 PM CEST | August 27 |
| Australia | 1:00 AM AEDT | August 28 |
| New Zealand | 3:00 AM NZDT | August 28 |
The table uses the schedule reported by PC Gamer. The Australia and New Zealand times fall after midnight. Their local date is August 28 rather than August 27. This change does not mean that those regions had a separate delay.
One source gives a date for China and Singapore that conflicts with its evening time. Those rows are left out. No silent fix has been made. The source files do not settle the conflict, so check the local store record for those regions.
Early Access and Advanced Access
No Early Access or Advanced Access period was announced in the source files. The Standard and Deluxe Editions used the normal launch time. The higher edition did not provide a head start. Both editions followed the same reported schedule.
An edition name does not always explain launch access on its own. Here, the listed Deluxe benefits were cosmetic extras. They did not add extra days of play. Players who only wanted an early start had no announced option to buy.
What the Editions Included
The game was sold in Standard and Deluxe Editions. Deluxe added the Grand Army of the Republic Cosmetic Pack. It also added the Shadow Collective Cosmetic Pack. Five exclusive painted weapon themes were included as well.
These extras were customization items. They were not new campaign missions. They also did not provide earlier access. Deluxe ownership therefore did not have a different release date in the source notes.
Pre-orders received the Crystalline Astromech Cosmetic Pack. They opened when the gameplay trailer revealed the date on June 5, 2026. The source files give only one store's price. This guide leaves the price out because it may not fit every store or region.
Platforms, Stores, and Preload
The release sources name PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X|S. The access report also names Steam, Epic Games Store, and EA app. It then lists Xbox and PlayStation. These were the stores and platforms in that global launch report.
One launch report said preload was open before the game unlocked. Its quoted text gave no file size. It also lacked a full preload plan for each platform. This page does not guess the download size, install time, or current preload state.
The Steam page is the only store page kept in the release-date source file. It confirms August 27. The local times come from launch guides, not the quoted Steam text. This keeps a news report from being shown as a direct store claim.
