[Jan. 15, 2026 UPDATE: IO Interactive has posted an updated list of the PC specifications for 007 First Light after the community flagged some inconsistencies. The mistake was due to internal miscommunication. The recommended RAM has been corrected from 32GB to 16GB, VRAM values have been updated, and the minimum CPU line has been fixed. We have updated our original article to reflect the correct values.]
It was pretty obvious from the start, when IO Interactive started showing off some pretty damn flashy trailers for it, but we all knew 007 First Light was probably going to come with some hefty PC spec requirements. Today, the developers have announced those requirements via a press release, along with additional details about its graphical features in collaboration with NVIDIA.

Performance, responsiveness, and visual fidelity, it all needs to feel effortless for the player, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX technologies including DLSS 4 enables us to deliver exactly that.”
That’s all well and good, but for me, it looks like my PC is finally due for an upgrade. As a 1080 Ti girlie who’s been trucking along fairly comfortably for years at this point, I may end up having to get this one on consoles instead. At least it’ll still look pretty, right?
007 First Light is set to be released for PC and consoles on May 27, 2026.
