IO Interactive has published the PC hardware requirements for 007 First Light, confirming that the recommended target demands substantial RAM to run at 1080p/60. The information clarifies that the specifications provided cover only 1080p scenarios, with no details yet on 1440p, 4K, or higher frame rates.
For minimum hardware, players will need an Intel Core i5-9500K or AMD Ryzen 5 3500 processor, a Nvidia GTX 1660, AMD RX 5700, or Intel discrete GPU equivalent, 16 GB of RAM, 8 GB of video RAM, 80 GB of storage, and Windows 10 or Windows 11 64-bit. The recommended bar raises the bar significantly: an Intel Core i5-13500 or AMD Ryzen 5 7600 processor, a Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti or AMD RX 6700 XT, or Intel discrete GPU equivalent, 32 GB of RAM, 12 GB of video RAM, 80 GB of storage, and Windows 10/11 64-bit.
In terms of release timing, 007 First Light is scheduled to launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, and PC on May 27. The date follows a delay from the original March window announced last month, with IO Interactive confirming the new target for all platforms.
Beyond the hardware specifics, the rollout includes media to accompany the launch window. A trailer spotlighting Lenny Kravitz’s villainous Bawma has been released, and developers have also teased the Bond car that 007 will be driving in the game. Additionally, previews note that watching a behind-closed-doors demo of 007 First Light helped address early concerns about the game’s direction, though concrete impressions from those previews remain part of the pre-release discussion.
The details come via a Game Informer coverage cycle that consolidated IO Interactive’s PC specs and the broader release plan. As the team moves toward launch, players will be watching for any further optimization data, particularly for higher resolutions and frame rates beyond the 1080p benchmarks publicly listed.
