Pretty wild stats comparison between Star Wars Zero Company and Star Wars Droid Tycoon.
For full context: This was their launch weekend, and these stats are only representative of PC players. I am curious what percentage of Zero Company players are on console. And we were seeing a big spike from a weekend event.
All things considered, it's incredible to see a UGC game made by a small team in a short period of time can go toe-to-toe engagement wise with a AAA title using the same IP.
Congrats to Zero Company team on a successful launch, I'm excited to jump in and play!

My friend who was not into Star Wars for years is now proactively watching it by themselves (currently Mando Season 1) thanks to #DroidTycoon! @FoadZone add that to your list of achievements 🫡🙌🏽✨

UEFN was the pivot that changed the trajectory of our company. We stayed curious, rolled up our sleeves, and just started shipping. If we could do it, anyone can.
In March 2023, Future Trash co-founder Kevin Marciano was at GDC with a Steam Deck and a few months of runway left, trying to save his studio - then UEFN got announced.
Fast forward to today and the studio has over two billion minutes played, a $5M seed round, a Game Awards nomination, and the record breaking Droid Tycoon!
