Initial reports regarding upcoming Star Wars video games provided gameplay details for Star Wars Zero Company, a turn-based tactical title set during the Clone Wars, and Star Wars: Galactic Racer, which features specific vehicle mechanics.

Following its release by Electronic Arts, Star Wars Zero Company has received feedback noting its tactical depth and inspiration from the XCOM series. However, the launch has been met with technical criticisms, including “janky camera movements, graphical oddities, and combat pauses.” Additionally, reports indicate that developer Bit Reactor laid off approximately 80% of its staff after development, leading to concerns regarding future software patches and refinements.
