Star Wars: Zero Company: Alinea Analytics estimates 1 million sales in first month

• Estimated revenue since launch is around $50 million.
• According to Kotaku, 69.9% of sales came from Steam, 19.9% from PlayStation, and 10.2% from Xbox, including Xbox PC.

What happened

Kotaku reported, based on an Alinea Analytics analysis, that Star Wars: Zero Company sold about 1 million copies in its first month after release. The game was developed by Bit Reactor in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment and published by EA. The report ties the estimate to the game’s commercial start after its August 27, 2026 launch.

The same estimate puts launch revenue at roughly $50 million. In Alinea Analytics’ breakdown, 69.9% of sales came via Steam, 19.9% via PlayStation, and 10.2% via Xbox, with Xbox PC included. Kotaku also notes that the game reportedly has a very positive reception on Steam and a strong Metacritic score, though no exact figures were provided in the supplied information.

Kotaku links the sales estimate to the game’s reception on Steam and Metacritic, but the supplied information does not include exact scores. The sales and revenue figures therefore remain external estimates rather than official numbers from EA or Bit Reactor. Any suggestion that the sales performance could affect staffing at Bit Reactor also remains speculative in the available information and has not been confirmed by the studio or publisher.

Background

Star Wars: Zero Company is a Star Wars game from Bit Reactor and Respawn Entertainment, with EA as publisher. The reporting centers on an early commercial milestone based on a third-party estimate from Alinea Analytics. The core of the story is therefore not an official sales update from EA, but an analysis cited by Kotaku.

Because EA and Bit Reactor have not confirmed the sales figures, the 1 million figure should be read as an estimate rather than an official result. The available information does say the game launched on August 27, 2026 and that Kotaku describes its Steam and Metacritic performance as strong, but without giving exact numbers. That leaves the game portrayed as a title with a notably strong start.

The platform split in the estimate also gives a clear picture of where sales reportedly came from. Steam would account for 69.9% of sales, followed by PlayStation at 19.9% and Xbox at 10.2%, with Xbox PC included. The roughly $50 million revenue estimate comes from the same external analysis and is likewise not an official EA figure.

Kotaku also notes that the sales performance may be relevant to Bit Reactor’s staffing situation, but the available information does not confirm any actual return of furloughed developers. That makes this part of the reporting an open question for now. What is clear is that, according to the external estimate, the game reached 1 million copies sold in its first month and is being presented as an early commercial success.
