IO Interactive's 007 First Light has achieved the highest first-day sales in the company's history, with 1.5 million copies sold. The game's strong commercial start is accompanied by positive critic reviews, including an 88 OpenCritic rating and 87 Metacritic score.
According to Alinea Analytics estimates, at least a third of the sales came from PC via Steam, with China being the second-largest market after the US. The game's success is attributed to its broad appeal and IO Interactive's successful execution of their vision to honor Bond's legacy in gaming.
The milestone reflects global enthusiasm for 007 First Light, establishing it as one of 2026's most successful gaming releases. With its masterful translation of the Bond fantasy into a 14-hour globetrotting epic, the game has been praised for its spectacle, humor, action, and romance.
