IO Interactive has confirmed that the upcoming James Bond title, 007 First Light, will launch globally on May 27, 2026. The release will begin at 7 AM Pacific Time. This date marks a significant shift from the game's original schedule, which placed the launch in March. The developer delayed the release by two months to ensure the final product meets their standards.
The game will arrive on day one for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Players can access the title on PC through Steam and other digital storefronts. A version for the Nintendo Switch 2 is also planned, but it will not launch simultaneously with the other platforms. IO Interactive stated that the Switch 2 edition will arrive later in the summer of 2026.
The specific launch window for the Nintendo Switch 2 version remains vague. The company used the phrase later this summer without providing a specific day or month. This lack of precision might frustrate some players who prefer exact dates. The global availability for the primary platforms is confirmed for the May 27 date.
007 First Light is not a console exclusive title. The developer confirmed support for PC alongside the major console families. This approach allows the game to reach a broader audience across different hardware ecosystems. The delay from March to May gives the team additional time to refine the experience for all supported systems.
