007 First Light has hit the ground running. Since its highly anticipated debut on May 27, the latest James Bond interactive experience has already achieved a massive commercial milestone. Developer IO Interactive confirmed that the title surpassed one million copies sold within its first 24 hours of availability.
By the end of May 28, that figure had climbed to an impressive 1.5 million units. This rapid success is further bolstered by critical acclaim, including a stellar 8.75/10 rating from our own team at Game Informer, who praised its masterful blend of cinematic storytelling and refined gameplay.
As an origin story, 007 First Light chronicles the formative years of the legendary agent before he earned his iconic double-0 status. Crafted by the visionary team behind the Hitman series, IO Interactive, the game is currently playable on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Nintendo enthusiasts can also look forward to a Switch 2 release slated for later this year.
