Play STAR WARS Zero Company on a
low-end PC

Keep your low-end PC and let Shadow PC handle Zero Company's hardware demands. EA lists 16 GB of RAM and a GTX 1080 even for 1080p at 30 fps on Low, while its High preset targets 32 GB and an RTX 3080. That leaves many everyday laptops and older desktops outside the briefing room. Shadow PC moves the Windows 11 gaming hardware to the cloud, while your Steam or EA app copy, saves, settings, keyboard and mouse stay yours. Once confirmed compatible, the full PC campaign arrives without a rebuild.

Why Shadow PC is the best PC to play STAR WARS Zero Company

1. The full Windows campaign, without a new GPU

Keep your familiar screen, keyboard and mouse. Once launch compatibility is confirmed, Shadow PC will run the Windows game on a dedicated NVIDIA RTX GPU in the cloud, then stream the action to your current PC. Power brings 20 GB of VRAM and 28 GB of RAM to a Windows 11 machine where you install Steam or the EA app. Your local graphics card handles the video stream, so there is nothing to order and nothing to rebuild.

2. Battlefield detail that informs every move

Read the battlefield before you commit a move. Cover lines, blaster fire, the green glow of Tel-Rea's lightsaber and explosions inside Separatist facilities stay clear on the screen in front of you. The PC version supports HDR, while Power will stream the image to your display once compatibility is confirmed. Every tactical cue remains part of the decision, from the Den to the next mission.

3. Built for the PC you already own

Open the Shadow app on Windows 10 or a recent Linux distribution, or connect through pc.shadow.tech in a Chromium-based browser. Your old computer only needs to decode the video stream, so a local gaming GPU is no longer the gatekeeper. A stable 15 Mb/s connection is the starting point, and your usual mouse and keyboard stay right where they are. Once compatibility is confirmed, return to the same Windows 11 desktop and saves on the PC you already own.

Power is the Shadow PC built for STAR WARS Zero Company

For the most gaming headroom available on Shadow PC, choose Power. Its RTX 3070 Ti-class GPU, 20 GB of VRAM and 28 GB of RAM exceed EA's published minimum configuration, while remaining below the recommended RTX 3080 and 32 GB of RAM. It is the strongest fit in the Shadow PC gaming range for this campaign. Compatibility, resolution and graphics settings must be confirmed after launch.
