IO Interactive and Amazon MGM Studios have released a Free Starter Pack for 007 First Light, giving players free access to the game's opening mission, titled Against the Odds. The trial launched on November 5, 2026, for PC via Steam and Xbox Series X|S, while the PlayStation 5 version will arrive on November 10, 2026. Until that rollout, PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers can access a separate one-hour timed trial. [1][2]
Set in Iceland, the opening chapter lets players control a younger James Bond in a reimagined origin tale. Progress made during the trial carries over for anyone who chooses to buy the complete release, which features the rest of the campaign, challenges, and the Tactical Simulations mode. On Steam, the pack supports both Steam Achievements and Steam Cloud, with PC system requirements demanding 80 GB of free SSD space alongside Windows 10 or 11. [1][2]
The release coincides with discounts across several platforms, cutting the full game's price by 40% on PC through November 9, 40% on Xbox Series X|S through November 15, and 50% on PlayStation 5 through November 30. Following two previous post-launch updates that added features like New Game+ and new missions, the title is also slated to land on the Nintendo Switch 2 on March 18, 2027. [1][2]
