007 First Light gives James Bond a modern origin game
IO Interactive launched 007 First Light on May 27, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version planned later in summer 2026.
007 First Light arrived on May 27, 2026 as IO Interactive's reimagined James Bond origin story. The game launched on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, with Amazon MGM Studios in the partnership mix.
What the pitch is
Rather than remaking a single film, First Light follows a young Bond earning a place inside MI6 training. IO Interactive is using the same stealth-action craft players know from Hitman, aimed at a more cinematic spy fantasy.
Platform notes
A Nintendo Switch 2 version was slated to follow later in summer 2026. At launch, there was no confirmed Game Pass day-one plan, so Xbox players should treat it as a retail purchase unless Microsoft announces otherwise.
