What is 007 First Light?
007 First Light is a new James Bond game from IO Interactive, the studio best known for the Hitman series. Instead of adapting one specific Bond film, the game tells an original origin story about a younger Bond as he works toward becoming 007.
That makes the release especially interesting for Bond fans and stealth-action players. IO Interactive has built its reputation around flexible missions, gadgets, disguises, and player choice, so 007 First Light could be one of the most interesting Bond games in years.
What platforms is 007 First Light coming to?
007 First Light is expected for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2.
If you are buying a physical copy, check the product page carefully before ordering. Make sure the edition and platform match the system you want to play on, especially if you are choosing between PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, or Nintendo Switch 2 versions.
Why fans are watching this release
This is the first major new James Bond game in a long time, and IO Interactive is a strong fit for the licence. The Hitman games are known for stealth, gadgets, creative problem solving, and replayable missions, which all suit a modern Bond game.
The origin-story angle also gives 007 First Light room to create its own version of Bond instead of following an existing movie plot. That could help the game feel fresh for longtime fans while still being easy for new players to follow.
Should you pre-order 007 First Light?
If you are unsure, it may be worth waiting for reviews closer to launch. That is especially true if you want to compare the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2 versions before deciding which one to buy.
