It appears that someone gained access to a physical copy of 007 First Light and was able to capture and share the first 30 minutes of gameplay from it. This gameplay video is from the console version. So, in case you’re wondering, no. The PC version has not been leaked.
In 007 First Light, players will follow James Bond as a young, resourceful, and sometimes reckless recruit in MI6’s training program, and discover an origin story of the world’s most famous spy.
The game is built on IO Interactive’s spy-thriller expertise and is designed to let players tackle objectives their own way, powered by quick-thinking improvisation. There are three ways in which you can complete your objectives. These are Spycraft, Gadgets, and Combat.
Players will go on missions in amazing locations, drive famous vehicles, and experience a movie-like adventure while chasing a rogue agent who is always one step ahead. You can choose how to play: sneak in quietly or fight loudly. You will be able to use fists, guns, gadgets, or even tricks to fool guards.
IO Interactive will release 007 First Light on May 27th. You can also find its final PC requirements here. Furthermore, the game will support Full Ray Tracing/Path Tracing on PC. However, these Path Tracing effects won’t be available at release. Instead, IO Interactive will add them via a post-launch update in Summer 2026.
Finally, the game will be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. IO Interactive has added Denuvo to the game a week before release.
The good news is that NVIDIA has provided us with a review code. As such, you can expect a day-1 PC Performance Analysis.
Since this is a leaked gameplay video, I suggest watching it while it’s still live. IO Interactive will most likely take it down in a matter of hours.
Funnily enough, the devs shared their own gameplay video in which they showcase the first 13 minutes. So, if the leaked video gets taken down, you can at least watch the official one. It’s a bit shorter than the leaked video (as it ends around the middle of the first mission). Still, it’s better than nothing.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
