007 First Light has made another milestone, this time with the game now reaching 4 million copies sold.
IO Interactive has seen big multi-platinum sales success from its new big-budget James Bond game. The developer, who has been aspiring to make a 007 game for decades, recently shared that First Light has hit 4 million sales in a little less than 3 months. Those are stellar sales for a full-priced $70 game, and IO is keen on keeping the momentum going with a bevy of year-one updates to the game, including NewGame+ to keep players in the action, as well as new missions and content.
The biggest boost will come from 007 First Light's release on the Nintendo Switch 2, which is happening in the middle of September. This sets 007 up for the holiday season, primed on the Switch 2 and possibly even with sales and discounts on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC to attract new users. This is the typical post-release cadence for multi-platform AAA games, and the staggered approach gives IO more chances of capitalizing on each platform in a scheduled way.
Amazon is also interested in making more James Bond games, and it's likely that IO Interactive will work with MGM Studios for new content, possibly even a sequel.
"The achievement of 4 million units sold in the first three months reflects overwhelming global enthusiasm for 007 First Light. The game's exceptional critical and commercial performance across all platforms, with the launch on Nintendo Switch 2 to come later in 2026, demonstrates the franchise's enduring appeal and the positive reception towards the studio's ambitious vision to deliver a premium, original Bond experience worldwide."
