Bit Reactor, developer of Star Wars Zero Company, has started bringing back a portion of the staff it furloughed just before the game's late-August launch, which saw an estimated 80% of employees affected. CEO Greg Foertsch told Game File the studio has begun 'the process of returning more of our team back to work' to provide continued support for the game, though he did not give specific numbers or a timeline for full reinstatement. The furloughs were seen as particularly jarring given Zero Company released to strong reviews, highlighting ongoing financial pressures even for critically successful titles. The partial recall offers some relief to affected workers but leaves uncertainty about the studio's long-term staffing and the game's post-launch support plans.
