IO Interactive and Amazon MGM Studios are dialing up the ambition for their highly anticipated James Bond adventure. The studios have officially confirmed a collaboration with NVIDIA GeForce to deliver a cutting-edge PC experience for 007 First Light, launching on May 27, 2026.
With DLSS 4 support, advanced RTX features, and newly revealed PC specifications, the next chapter in Bond gaming is shaping up to be one of the most cinematic and technically impressive entries the franchise has seen.
Pre-orders are already live — and players who secure theirs will be automatically upgraded to the Deluxe Edition, complete with 24-hour early access and exclusive cosmetics.
DLSS 4 Brings Next-Gen Performance to 007 First Light
Built in close collaboration with NVIDIA, 007 First Light takes full advantage of the latest RTX technology to boost performance while preserving cinematic quality.
DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation allows smoother framerates, stronger responsiveness, and richer detail — ideal for high-octane stealth sequences and dynamic action set pieces.
According to IO Interactive CTO Ulas Karademir, the goal was clear: create a Bond experience that feels effortless, powerful, and visually striking on PC — and NVIDIA’s tech helps make that possible.
A Stronger Glacier Engine, Built for Modern Bond
IO Interactive has enhanced its proprietary Glacier engine specifically for 007 First Light. Players can expect:
- More expressive character animations
- Lifelike, reactive environments
- A cinematic tone that matches the high stakes of espionage
- Large, dramatic set pieces powered by improved performance
The result is a modern reimagining of Bond that blends stealth, action, and storytelling while honoring the studio’s legacy of precision gameplay.

A New Origin Story for James Bond

As a Royal Navy air crewman recruited into MI6, Bond must navigate global espionage, shifting alliances, and dangerous terrain. Players choose their approach:
Stealth. Force. Wit. Charm.
Every decision shapes the mission — and the man James Bond becomes.
