AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
IO Interactive's 007 First Light is almost here, ending a fourteen-year wait for a major James Bond game. Polygon details exact global launch times for early access and standard editions across all platforms.
The fourteen-year drought for a proper console and PC James Bond game is finally coming to an end. IO Interactive, the studio behind the stellar modern Hitman trilogy, is taking the reins with 007 First Light. Fans have high expectations for how the team will handle the iconic spy, especially given their mastery of stealth and espionage sandboxes. If you grabbed a pre-order, you get a complimentary deluxe edition upgrade that includes twenty-four hours of early access alongside some extra cosmetic gear.
Early access for 007 First Light drops on Tuesday, May 26, at 10 a.m. EDT across PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X. For everyone else jumping in on the standard version, the global launch unlocks at the exact same time on Wednesday, May 27. It is a synchronized rollout, which makes planning your sessions or coordinating with your regular squad straightforward no matter what platform you play on.
As for getting your files ready ahead of time, preload schedules have been a bit hazy. Reports point to the PlayStation Store kicking off downloads around 10 a.m. EDT on Sunday, May 24, though official word for Xbox and PC storefronts is still pending at the time of writing. Given the file sizes for modern AAA releases, keep an eye on your preferred launcher over the weekend so you can dive straight into MI6 operations the moment the servers go live.
