Bond, Barrel, and a Button: 007: First Light's Controller Divides Fans

The gold-limited 007: First Light DualSense PS5 controller has sparked debate over whether its straight-line, barrel-inspired detailing truly evokes the James Bond gun-barrel motif. IO Interactive says the design honors Bond’s elegance and the game’s feel, but fans question the homage and some suggest copyright constraints on the gun-barrel symbol influenced the look. Priced £75/€85/$85, pre-orders begin April 17, with 007: First Light releasing May 27 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S and a Switch 2 version arriving later this summer.
