Star Wars Zero Company: Alinea estimates 1 million sales and $50 million revenue
Alinea Analytics estimates Star Wars Zero Company has sold over 1 million copies and generated about $50 million since launch.
- The analysts put estimated revenue at around $50 million, with 69.9% of sales via Steam, 19.9% via PlayStation and 10.2% via Xbox/Xbox PC.
- Eurogamer also reports that most of the Bit Reactor team was furloughed without pay before release.
What happened
Star Wars Zero Company, Bit Reactor’s turn-based tactics game in the style of XCOM, has reportedly passed the 1 million sales mark in a short time, according to Alinea Analytics. The estimate was cited by Eurogamer and covers the period since the game launched on August 27. It is not an official sales figure from EA or Bit Reactor, but an analysis from an external data firm.
Rhys Elliott of Alinea estimates the game’s revenue at around $50 million, which the reporting converts to roughly £37 million. According to the same analysis, 69.9% of sales came through Steam, 19.9% through PlayStation and 10.2% through Xbox, with Xbox on PC included. That would make Steam the game’s biggest platform.
Eurogamer ties those commercial figures to the situation at Bit Reactor. In the same article, it says most of the development team was furloughed without pay before release, following a dispute between the studio’s owners and a lack of funding. The publication does not confirm in the provided excerpt whether that measure has since been reversed or whether a payment arrangement has been reached.
Alinea also gives a regional estimate of the audience: around 90% is said to be in North America and Europe, with about 5% in Asia. Eurogamer also says the sales figures would place the game among the top five highest-grossing titles in that period, though the excerpt does not fully break down that comparison.

Background
Star Wars Zero Company is described in the reporting as a turn-based tactics game in the tradition of XCOM. That comparison matters because the genre is built around turn-based combat, squad management and tactical positioning. The cited figures, however, focus mainly on sales, revenue and platform split rather than gameplay.
Alinea Analytics’ estimates combine several parts of the launch: a sales figure, a revenue estimate and a platform mix. The reported 69.9% via Steam, 19.9% via PlayStation and 10.2% via Xbox show where the game sold best. The regional estimate of around 90% in North America and Europe and about 5% in Asia suggests where demand was strongest, according to Alinea.
The report about furloughs at Bit Reactor makes the game’s commercial performance especially notable in the coverage. At the same time, it remains unclear how much of the estimated $50 million revenue is actually available for studio operations or staff costs, and Eurogamer does not confirm in the excerpt that the furloughs have been lifted.
