Bond's New Spy Game Shines Early, Critics Laud 007 First Light

Early critics are praising IO Interactive's 007: First Light, with PS5/PC reviews averaging around 88 and several outlets hailing it as the best or among the best Bond games in decades; Xbox reviews are still rolling in, but initial impressions are similarly glowing, noting a tight stealth-action blend and globe-trotting campaign, albeit with caveats like a finicky cover system and pacing. The game reportedly runs about 14 hours and arrives on Xbox with a Deluxe Edition upgrade for preorder, while the Standard Edition becomes available May 27 if you didn't preorder.

007 First Light Demonstrates Cutting-Edge Tech on PS5 and PS5 Pro

Digital Foundry hails 007 First Light as a technical tour de force on PS5 and PS5 Pro, powered by IO Interactive’s Glacier Engine and a new RTGI-based diffuse lighting that delivers depth and bounce lighting; on base PS5 the image quality is hampered by FSR 3.1.5 with lower resolutions, while PS5 Pro provides a cleaner, sharper experience and a locked 60fps via PSSR; the game is more Hitman-like stealth than Uncharted-style action, with path-traced rendering teased for PC later.

007 First Light Skips Steam and Xbox Preloads; PS5 Gets Exclusive Day-One Download

IO Interactive has confirmed that 007 First Light will not offer pre-loads on Steam or Xbox; PlayStation 5 will be the only platform with a mandatory preload, allowing an early download. The exact reason isn’t stated, though piracy concerns are speculated. The game (~80 GB) will download at release on Steam/Xbox, while PS5 players can preload. It targets 60 FPS on most platforms except Xbox Series S due to RAM/GPU headroom, and fans are upset about the lack of preloading.

IOI Targets Late-Summer 007 First Light on Switch 2, Prioritizes Quality

IO Interactive CEO Hakan Abrak says 007 First Light is targeting a late-summer release on Switch 2 and will take the time needed to ensure a quality version, promising not to rush like Borderlands 4’s delays. The note comes after Hitman: World of Assassination showed performance issues on Switch 2, which led to patches. The window could slide to August or later depending on development pace, but the team is devoted to delivering a strong port.
