Star Wars Zero Company System Requirements Guide

The Star Wars Zero Company system requirements start at a Core i5-8400 or Ryzen 5 2600X, 16 GB of RAM, and a GTX 1080, Radeon RX 5600 XT, or Intel Arc B580. That minimum targets native 1920×1080 at 30 FPS on the Low preset, not an unspecified level of playability. For native 2560×1440 at 60 FPS on High, EA recommends a Core i7-10700K or Ryzen 7 3700X, 32 GB of RAM, and an RTX 3080 or Radeon RX 7800 XT. Both tiers require 64-bit Windows 10 or 11, DirectX 12, and 50 GB of available storage.

Minimum PC requirements

EA Help, the official game FAQ, and Steam agree on the minimum hardware below. Windows 11 is recommended, but the operating-system line also includes 64-bit Windows 10. The performance note is part of the requirement and should stay attached to the component list. Meeting the parts without understanding the 1080p, 30 FPS, Low target can create unrealistic expectations.

One secondary article writes “Core i7-8400” in its minimum table, but that conflicts with EA Help, EA's FAQ, Steam, and even the accompanying video transcript. The official requirement is Intel Core i5-8400. This guide uses the consistent first-party value rather than repeating the third-party typo. No equivalent Intel CPU substitutions are officially listed in the supplied sources.

Recommended PC requirements

The recommended tier raises the target to native 1440p at 60 FPS on the High preset. It doubles listed system memory from 16 GB to 32 GB and moves to substantially stronger graphics hardware. EA lists one Intel and one AMD processor option, plus Nvidia and AMD graphics options. No Intel Arc card appears in the recommended table.

These are target configurations, not a guarantee that every scene will remain fixed at the stated frame rate. Background software, drivers, cooling, power limits, and individual component variants can affect actual results. The supplied official tables do not publish a 4K or Ultra tier. Hardware needed for native 4K, ray tracing, or a specific ultrawide target is therefore 待确认.

What the performance targets mean

The word “native” means EA's targets are stated without relying on an upscaler to lower the internal rendering resolution. Minimum is designed around 1080p, 30 FPS, and Low, while recommended is designed around 1440p, 60 FPS, and High. A PC between the two tiers may need a different mixture of resolution, preset, and frame rate. The sources do not provide an official medium-tier recipe.

CPU, memory, and graphics priorities

The jump from minimum to recommended is largest in memory and GPU capability. Officially, the game moves from 16 GB to 32 GB of system RAM and from GTX 1080, RX 5600 XT, or Arc B580 class graphics to RTX 3080 or RX 7800 XT. The processor recommendation also rises from i5-8400 or Ryzen 5 2600X to i7-10700K or Ryzen 7 3700X. EA does not publish an official list of newer “equivalent” components.

Intel Arc and Resizable BAR

EA Help specifically advises Intel Arc users to enable Resizable BAR to improve FPS performance. Resizable BAR may be disabled by default, so EA directs players to their hardware manufacturer's documentation for the correct setup procedure. The setting can depend on the motherboard, firmware, processor platform, and graphics configuration. A universal BIOS path cannot be supplied from the material.

The minimum list names the Intel Arc B580 alongside the GTX 1080 and RX 5600 XT. That does not mean an Arc system will automatically deliver the target if Resizable BAR is unavailable or configured incorrectly. EA provides no Intel Arc option for the recommended 1440p tier. Performance for other Arc models is 待确认.

Storage, operating system, and DirectX

Both requirement tiers call for 50 GB of available storage and DirectX 12. Steam warns that content updates may download automatically, need additional space, and use bandwidth, so exactly 50 GB free may leave little working room for future updates. Neither official table in the supplied material specifies an SSD. An SSD requirement, install-size growth after patches, and shader-cache overhead are 待确认.

Only 64-bit Windows 10 and Windows 11 are listed in the PC requirements, with Windows 11 recommended. The official platform list includes PC through the EA app, Steam, and Epic Games Store, plus PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. No macOS or Linux requirement appears in the supplied official tables. Native support for either operating system is 待确认.

Internet and account requirements

EA Help says an online connection is not included in the PC system requirements because the game is single-player. It adds that internet may still be needed to download the game, install updates, or use platform-specific features. Steam's legal disclosure is stricter for its version: it states that an internet connection, EA Account, Steam Account, and linked EA and Steam accounts are required to play. Steam also says one EA account and one Steam account are tied to access and are non-transferable after purchase.

These statements are not identical, so they should be applied to the storefront being used. The Steam disclosure supports an account-linking requirement even though the EA app itself is not listed as a hardware dependency. Whether the Steam build can run offline after initial activation is not settled by the supplied material and remains 待确认. “Single-player” should not be read as proof that every installation and authentication step works without a network.

How to check your current PC

EA Help recommends opening the Windows Run dialog with Windows key plus R, entering dxdiag, and reviewing the System and Display tabs. The System tab shows the operating system, processor, memory, and DirectX version, while Display identifies the graphics hardware. Compare the exact names and totals with the tables rather than relying only on a PC's age or marketing label. EA's tables do not publish separate laptop component targets.

For storage, open File Explorer, choose This PC, and check the free space under Devices and drives. Leave room for the 50 GB installation target plus downloads or updates mentioned by Steam. If the system falls below a named minimum component, the supplied sources do not promise that reducing resolution will make it supported. If it falls between tiers, actual settings and performance require testing because EA provides no official intermediate target.

Quick buying decision

Use the minimum tier only if 1080p, 30 FPS, and Low match your expectation. Aim for the recommended tier if the goal is the officially stated 1440p, 60 FPS, High experience. Confirm 32 GB of RAM and the GPU first, because those requirements rise sharply between the two levels. Avoid treating a third-party “similar card” suggestion as an official substitute.

Also check the selected store's account and connection disclosures before buying. Steam explicitly requires linked EA and Steam accounts in the captured page, while EA's general hardware guide separates online access from the performance specification. The base hardware tables themselves are consistent apart from GameWatcher's Intel CPU typo. Exact offline behavior, 4K requirements, and unlisted hardware equivalencies remain 待确认.
