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: 60fps on Series X, 30fps on Series S

Digital Foundry's analysis shows 007 First Light on Xbox Series X supports 60fps or 30fps, while Series S is fixed at 30fps to maintain parity, reflecting IO Interactive's scalability-first approach; achieving 60fps on high-end consoles relies on Glacier Engine techniques like async compute and a frame graph with CPU offloading, and the same scaling strategy will extend to lower-end PCs and Switch 2, including software-based ray tracing and new lighting tech.

Pragmata Finds Its Best Voice on PS5 Pro

Pragmata Finds Its Best Voice on PS5 Pro

Digital Foundry’s Pragmata verdict finds the PS5 Pro delivers the strongest overall package: native 864p with PSSR upscaling to 4K and a 120Hz mode with RT and hair upgrades. PS5 and Xbox Series X run 1080p upscaled to 4K (FSR1) with RT limited to the resolution mode, while Series S sticks to 720p with no RT. Both frame-rate and resolution modes target 60fps, but the resolution mode is more variable. Overall, Pragmata looks best on PS5 Pro, with PS5/Series X offering solid performance but fewer features, and Series S being the least capable.
