IO Interactive has revealed the official PC system requirements for its upcoming James Bond game, 007 First Light. So, let’s see what PC system you’ll need to run it.
According to the devs, PC gamers will at least need an Intel Core i5 9500K or an AMD Ryzen 5 3500 with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 or an AMD Radeon RX 5700. You’ll also need at least 16GB of RAM, 8GB of VRAM, and 80GB of free disk space. With this PC system, you’ll be able to run 007 First Light at 1080p/30FPS. However, the devs have not specified the PC graphics settings.
For gaming at 1080p/60FPS, you’ll need an Intel Core i5 13500 or an AMD Ryzen 5 7600 with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060Ti or an AMD Radeon RX 6700XT. Interestingly enough, the devs recommend 32GB of RAM and 12GB of VRAM for gaming at 1080p/60FPS.
I’m pretty sure that the RAM requirements are not that accurate, especially if you don’t run other programs in the background. The devs probably used 32GB just so they can be safe. But the VRAM requirements appear to be a bit high, especially for 1080p. Remember when AMD was claiming that no game would require more than 8GB of VRAM at 1080p? Well, that didn’t age well, did it?
To be honest, aside from the VRAM requirements, these PC specs seem fine. I know many people will immediately call the game unoptimized without even playing it. These are your usual Twitter/X/YouTube grifters. So let’s at least try it before passing judgment. If the game performs poorly at launch, we’ll be sure to let you know.
007 First Light will be using the latest version of the Glacier Engine. At CES 2026, NVIDIA also revealed that the game will take advantage of DLSS 4.
IO Interactive will release 007 First Light on May 27th.
