Star Wars Zero Company Developer Bit Reactor Brings Furloughed Staff Back

Bit Reactor, the studio behind the tactical RPG Star Wars Zero Company, has begun bringing back staff members who were furloughed ahead of the game's late August 2026 launch. The studio had suspended the majority of its workforce, with estimates suggesting around 80% of employees were placed on furlough before release. Now, the CEO has welcomed the return of a significant portion of those developers, with reports indicating that over half of the furloughed staff have been brought back for the "continued support" of the title.

The news comes on the heels of what appears to be a strong commercial and critical reception for Star Wars Zero Company, which launched to great reviews. Bit Reactor's leadership cited an "incredible response" to the game as a driving factor in the decision to resume paying furloughed developers and expand the active team. The studio indicated it is committed to bringing back "as many people back as possible," signaling cautious optimism about the game's ongoing performance and the studio's future plans. More updates regarding both Bit Reactor and Zero Company are expected to follow.
