No—Zero Company is a single-player campaign. One person controls Hawks and every deployed Operator; there is no announced online co-op, PvP, or split-screen mode.
No. Star Wars Zero Company is single-player only: it has no online multiplayer, local multiplayer, split-screen, co-op, or PvP mode.
Multiplayer and co-op answer by mode
| Mode | Supported? | Official answer |
|---|---|---|
| Online multiplayer | No | EA Help says the game does not include online or competitive multiplayer |
| Online co-op | No | EA Help explicitly excludes online co-op |
| Local multiplayer / co-op | No | EA Help explicitly excludes local co-op |
| Split-screen | No | EA Help explicitly excludes split-screen co-op |
| PvP / competitive play | No | EA Help explicitly excludes competitive multiplayer |
| Single-player campaign | Yes | Steam lists Single-player, and one player commands the squad |
The player count is one. The campaign gives you a squad of Operators, but they are units under one player's command, not separate characters for friends to join and control.
Why the screenshots can look like co-op
Zero Company is built around a team, which can make combat screenshots look like a co-op party. EA's combat guide says the player and the entire squad share a turn, with each Operator receiving Action Points. You choose their movement, attacks, and abilities yourself.
That squad structure does not change the player count. EA Help calls the game single-player, and Steam lists no multiplayer feature.
What this means before you buy
- Do not buy two copies expecting to run the campaign together.
- Do not assume split-screen because several Operators appear in combat.
- If playing with friends is essential, this is not a co-op game.
- If playing without internet is essential, check the current storefront requirements. “Single-player” is not the same promise as “fully offline.”
EA's current support page gives a direct “No” to playing with friends. It does not describe a shared campaign, hot-seat option, or friend-controlled squad members.
For the campaign structure, read gameplay and campaign structure. For purchase packages, compare Standard and Deluxe editions; neither edition adds a multiplayer mode.

No. You command a squad of operatives, but one player controls the tactical campaign.
