Star Wars: Zero Company Hits #1 on Steam Sales Chart Ahead of Official Launch

The highly anticipated Star Wars: Zero Company officially launches tomorrow across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Following review embargoes lifting earlier today, where the title secured an impressive 86 Metacritic score, pre-orders surged rapidly. After holding a steady spot in Steam’s top five over the past five days, critical acclaim pushed the game’s momentum into overdrive.

Driven by strong review scores, Star Wars: Zero Company jumped from third place straight to the #1 spot on the Steam top-sellers list and has held that lead position throughout the entire day. The achievement is particularly notable given the competition: pre-orders for Zero Company managed to outpace NBA 2K27, despite today marking the official launch day for 2K’s flagship release.

The game’s commercial momentum is backed by heavy social engagement. Google Trends data reflects a sharp spike in search volume over the past 24 hours, with Zero Company seeing a 233% surge in Google searches within the first hour after reviews dropped this morning. That search traffic has remained consistently high throughout the day, signaling strong, sustained interest ahead of launch. Meanwhile, discussions surrounding the title have stayed near the top of X trends all day long.
