Bit Reactor furloughs majority of staff ahead of Star Wars Zero Company launch
TL;DR Summary
Bit Reactor reportedly furloughed about 80% of its staff in the weeks before Star Wars Zero Company’s launch, leaving a skeleton crew to address post-launch bugs; the studio said the move was financially driven and not tied to EA or Disney. Star Wars Zero Company has been well received and is near the top of Steam’s top sellers. The furloughs echo a 2024 lawsuit by a former COO that referenced earlier contractor terminations and ownership disputes.
