Bond Budget Pays Off as 007 First Light Debuts Strong on PS5

Push Square reports IO Interactive’s 007 First Light cost around $200 million (1.3B kroner) to develop over seven years, with licensing/marketing costs not fully disclosed; it sold 1.5 million copies in its first 24 hours, suggesting a break-even target around 4–5 million copies and a likely long-tail via post-launch updates—reflecting the risks and potential rewards of modern AAA budgets.
