James Bond’s 007 First Light: Price, platforms, gameplay details, and more
IO Interactive’s latest James Bond game reimagines the iconic spy as a young MI6 recruit navigating dangerous missions before officially earning the 007 title.
Players can currently purchase the game through Steam and the Xbox Store, while availability on the PlayStation Store and Epic Games Store is expanding gradually. (Iage: X/ Xbox ANZ) IO Interactive has officially released 007 First Light, a new action-espionage game that explores the early career of James Bond before he becomes the legendary Agent 007.
Unlike previous Bond titles that focused on the fully established spy, 007 First Light takes players back to Bond’s origins, portraying him as a young naval air crewman recruited into MI6’s revived Double 0 programme following a heroic mission.
The game follows Bond as he becomes entangled in a dangerous conspiracy tied to a rogue agent and an attempted coup. Players get to travel across multiple international locations while completing espionage missions involving stealth mechanics, combat, driving sequences, infiltration, and gadget-based gameplay.
IO Interactive says missions can be approached in multiple ways depending on the player’s style. Users can rely on stealth, direct combat, deception, or spy gadgets to complete objectives. The title also includes replayable missions with additional challenges and modifiers.
The game is now rolling out across major gaming platforms, with some users receiving early access beginning May 26 through pre-orders and Deluxe Edition benefits.
Pricing and platforms:
🎮 PC: Rs 3,499
🎮 PlayStation 5: Rs 3,999
