Star Wars Zero Company System Requirements; is your PC good enough to run it?

STAR WARS Zero Company (EA & Bit Reactor) launches on 27th August. It’s a turn-based tactics game in the vein of XCOM, with a cinematic third-person exploration layer between missions — and it’s built on Unreal Engine 5.

That combination means the official system requirements are higher than many people expect for a tactics game. Here’s a clear look at what the game actually needs, and a practical build that handles it comfortably at 1440p.

STAR WARS Zero Company — Official PC Requirements

Minimum (1080p, 30fps, Low)

• CPU: Intel Core i5-8400 / AMD Ryzen 5 2600X
• GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 / AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT / Intel Arc B580
• RAM: 16GB
• Storage: 50GB

Recommended (1440p, 60fps, High)

• CPU: Intel Core i7-10700K / AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
• GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 / AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT
• RAM: 32GB
• Storage: 50GB

The recommended tier is the one most people building a new PC should aim for. The jump to 32GB of RAM is particularly notable — most games this generation still target 16GB, so this is worth planning for if you want a smooth high-settings experience.

Building a PC for Zero Company

If you want to play at 1440p / 60fps on High settings, build to the recommended tier. Here’s what that looks like in practice.

GPU — RTX 3080 / RX 7800 XT class

This is the most important part of the build. A card in this performance bracket clears the recommended requirements cleanly and gives you room for higher settings or future titles.

Browse our tested Nvidia GPUs and AMD GPUs — every card is benchmarked before it’s listed.

CPU — i7-10700K / Ryzen 7 3700X or newer

The recommended tier sits around this generation of 8-core processor. Anything newer in the same family works well and gives better upgrade headroom.

See tested options in Intel CPUs and AMD CPUs.

RAM — 32GB

Zero Company explicitly recommends 32GB. Since RAM is one of the cheaper ways to future-proof a system, matching this figure is the sensible choice.

Check our RAM collection for tested kits.

Storage — SSD required

The game requires an SSD. Plan for the 50GB install plus space for updates and other games.

See our Storage range for tested SSDs.

Motherboard & Power Supply

Choose a motherboard that properly supports your CPU and has room for 32GB of RAM. Size the power supply according to the actual draw of your GPU.

Start with our Motherboards and PSUs collections.

Sample Spec Target

• GPU: RTX 3080-class or better → Nvidia GPUs / AMD GPUs
• CPU: i7-10700K / Ryzen 7 3700X or newer → Intel CPUs / AMD CPUs
• RAM: 32GB → RAM
• Storage: SSD, 500GB+ → Storage
• Motherboard & PSU: Matched to the above → Motherboards / PSUs
