IO Interactive released a major free update for 007 First Light on July 24, and it matters because it adds new missions and rewards without charging players. The Tac Sim Update brings two new single-player scenarios that let you practice stealth tactics in a low-stakes environment. Players seeking to refine their combat approach can use these missions to build muscle memory before tackling harder objectives.
Free patch brings stealth missions and stability fixes to all platforms
The update, identified as version 1.016 or 1.1.0, targets all current platforms including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, Steam, and the Epic Games Store. It introduces two new TacSim missions titled The Workshop and Extraction Avenues. These scenarios emphasize silent takedowns and environmental awareness instead of open combat.

Download sizes vary significantly across platforms, ranging from a lightweight 1.39 GB on Xbox to a hefty 23.8 GB on PlayStation 5. Steam users need to download 3.6 GB, while Epic Games Store players require 3.99 GB. The patch also fixes over 200 issues, including crashes on Xbox Series S and achievement unlock bugs that have frustrated players.
New unlockable rewards include the DRS-7 Silenced SMG, DRX-2 Machine Pistol, Stormberg 50'cal, and the Diamond in the Rough outfit. These items offer players additional tools for stealth gameplay and character customization. We looked at the last 007 First Light update earlier while tracking stability fixes, and this release continues that trend of balancing gameplay and performance.
The Tac Sim Update is now available for download on all supported platforms. Players can access the new missions and rewards immediately after installing the patch. This release addresses both content expansion and technical stability in a single package.
