007 First Light’s Path Tracing Update

Copenhagen, Denmark – August 25, 2026

IO Interactive, the independent video game developer and publisher behind the HITMAN franchise, and Amazon MGM Studios are thrilled to announce that 007 First Light has reached 4 million units sold within its first three months of release, making it one of 2026's fastest-selling games. 007 First Light is available now on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, on Amazon.com, on PC, on Steam and Epic Games Store, as well as at key retailers.

In the critically-acclaimed, multi-million selling 007 First Light, follow James Bond as a young, resourceful and sometimes reckless recruit in MI6's training program, and discover a reimagined origin story of the world’s most famous spy. Incorporating IO Interactive’s signature stealth gameplay with world class James Bond action, you’ll embark on missions in breathtaking locations around the globe, drive iconic vehicles, and dive into a cinematic adventure in pursuit of a rogue agent who’s always one step ahead.

 

Since launch, 007 First Light has included NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution and DLSS Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, accelerating frame rates and enhancing image quality for GeForce RTX gamers. On September 15th, path tracing and DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction will be added to 007 First Light, introducing extra-immersive, extra-detailed lighting, shadows and reflections, making its levels and set pieces even more cinematic.

If you’re away from home and your GeForce RTX PC or laptop, or simply don’t have a GeForce RTX system capable of playing 007 First Light with path tracing, you can still experience the game at its very best by streaming it from the cloud to nearly any device with an Ultimate GeForce NOW membership.
