Star Wars Zero Company, the Clone Wars-era turn-based tactics game from Bit Reactor, goes live at the same moment everywhere in the world. There is no staggered rollout by region and no premium early access window, so PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S players all start at once.
Quick answer: The game unlocks globally at 15:00 UTC on August 27, 2026. Convert that to your local zone using the table below, or watch the countdown for the exact moment.

Star Wars Zero Company unlock times by region
Because the launch is tied to a single 15:00 UTC point, most of North America, Europe, and Asia gets access on August 27, while Japan, Australia, and New Zealand cross into the early hours of August 28. Here is when the game becomes playable in major zones.

| Denver (MDT) | 9:00 AM, Aug 27 |

Simultaneous launch across PC and consoles
Unlike many modern releases that trickle out by platform, the console and PC builds flip live together. Wherever you buy the game and whatever hardware you play on, the start time is identical. Nobody unlocks it ahead of anyone else.
There is also no separate early access tier. The Deluxe Edition adds bonus content but does not grant earlier play, so premium buyers begin at the same 15:00 UTC mark as Standard Edition owners.
Preload and how to be ready at launch
Preloads opened seven days before release, so pre-order buyers can already download the full game and sit on it until the clock hits the unlock time. Getting the install finished in advance means you can start playing the instant the servers flip over, with no download queue standing between you and the first mission.
Editions and pricing at launch
Two editions are available. The Standard Edition ships both physically and digitally, while the Deluxe Edition is digital only. Standard buyers can upgrade to Deluxe separately if they want the extra content later.
| Edition | PC | PS5 / Xbox Series X/S |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | $49.99 / €49.99 | $59.99 |
| Deluxe | $59.99 / €59.99 | $69.99 |
Note: The Deluxe Edition does not shorten the wait. Its bonuses are cosmetic and content extras rather than a head start, so the release time stays the same regardless of which version you own.
With the launch locked to a single global moment, the only variable is your own time zone. Line up your preload ahead of time, check where 15:00 UTC falls for you, and the mercenary squad led by Hawks will be ready to deploy the second the timer hits zero.
