The game is live on current PlayStation, Xbox, and PC stores; Switch 2 remains scheduled for summer 2026 without a precise date.
007 First Light launched globally on May 27, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC through Steam and Epic Games Store. The Nintendo Switch 2 version is not yet listed as released; IOI's FAQ still gives a summer 2026 window.
| Platform | Current status on August 23 |
|---|---|
| PlayStation 5 | Released |
| Xbox Series X | S |
| Windows PC — Steam | Released |
| Windows PC — Epic Games Store | Released |
| Nintendo Switch 2 | Planned for summer 2026; no exact date in the current FAQ |
| PS4 / Xbox One | Not listed |
Steam may show May 26 depending on region and unlock timing. That does not mean there were two separate content releases. For editorial consistency, use IO Interactive's May 27 global date and preserve the Steam display as a note when necessary.
The current FAQ is the source of truth for Switch 2 status. “Summer 2026” is a window, not confirmation that the port is playable. A page should not turn the current month into an invented launch day. This answer requires another review when IOI publishes a date or store link.
For Windows hardware, continue to 007 First Light PC requirements. For the premise and the rest of the dossier, return to 007 First Light.
