007 First Light Free Starter Pack goes live

IO Interactive and Amazon MGM Studios released the 007 First Light Free Starter Pack on November 5, 2026, on PC via Steam and on Xbox Series X|S. The pack lets players try the opening mission of the James Bond origin story at no cost, and progress carries over if they buy the full game.

What the Starter Pack includes

The 007 First Light Free Starter Pack covers the opening chapter in Iceland, titled Against the Odds. It introduces a younger James Bond in IO Interactive’s reimagined origin story. The Steam version supports Steam Achievements and Steam Cloud. The full version unlocks the entire story, challenges, and the Tactical Simulations mode.

PlayStation 5 owners get the Starter Pack on November 10, 2026. Until then, PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers can play a separate one-hour timed trial.

Discounts and Switch 2 release

IO Interactive is also discounting the full game on three platforms. Steam gets 40 percent off from November 5 to November 9, and Xbox Series X|S gets 40 percent off from November 5 to November 15. PlayStation 5 receives 50 percent off from November 5 to November 30. The full game is available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and the Epic Games Store. A Nintendo Switch 2 version follows on March 18, 2027.
