Developer IO Interactive has officially revealed the PC specifications for 007 First Light, and if you were hoping to run the game at its absolute best, you are going to need some serious hardware.
The upcoming James Bond title scales across multiple performance targets, ranging from 1080p at 30 FPS on modest hardware all the way up to 4K at 200+ FPS with DLSS 4.5 enabled. Interestingly, the highest preset specifically calls for an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, making this one of the first major titles to openly target NVIDIA’s newest generation of GPUs.
Here’s a breakdown of the PC requirements.
Minimum Specs (1080p / 30 FPS / Low Settings)
- CPU: Intel Core i5-9500 or AMD Ryzen 5 3500
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 or AMD Radeon RX 5700
- RAM: 16GB
- VRAM: 6GB
- Storage: 80GB SSD required
- OS: Windows 10/11 64-bit
Recommended Specs (1080p / 60 FPS / Medium Settings)
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT
- RAM: 16GB
- VRAM: 8GB
- Storage: 80GB SSD required
- OS: Windows 10/11 64-bit
Enthusiast Specs (1440p / 60 FPS / High Settings)
- CPU: Intel Core i5-13500 or AMD Ryzen 5 7600
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 or AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT
- RAM: 16GB
- VRAM: 12GB
- Storage: 80GB SSD required
- OS: Windows 10/11 64-bit
Enthusiast Specs (4K / 60 FPS / High Settings)
- CPU: Intel Core i5-13500 or AMD Ryzen 5 7600
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 or AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX
- RAM: 16GB
- VRAM: 16GB
- Storage: 80GB SSD required
- OS: Windows 10/11 64-bit
Ultra Specs (4K / 200+ FPS / Ultra Settings)
- CPU: Intel Core i5-13600K or AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080
- RAM: 32GB
- VRAM: 16GB
- Storage: 80GB SSD required
- OS: Windows 10/11 64-bit
The game will also include a number of accessibility features, such as subtitle customization, input remapping, menu narration, sensitivity adjustments, and autocomplete options for certain actions and quick-time events.
It’s also interesting to see that DLSS will not be enabled for the Minimum, Recommended, or Enthusiast presets, meaning those performance targets are expected to run natively without NVIDIA’s AI-assisted upscaling. Especially now, when more PC games are leaning on DLSS by default, and in some cases, practically forcing it on players. Is this IO Interactive’s way of telling us they are technical wizards and we won’t need it? We’ll have to wait and see.
On a personal note, I am a bit dismayed to see that ultrawide monitor support wasn’t listed, but perhaps it will still make its way into the game. However, don’t lose hope since Hitman World of Assassination trilogy supported the ratio, so I imagine this game will as well.
007 First Light is currently scheduled to release on May 27, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. The Nintendo Switch 2 version was delayed and is now expected to launch later in Summer 2026.
