IO Interactive is back with another round of PC specifications for 007 First Light, this time adding Enthusiast and Ultra tiers to the mix. The studio first shared specs back in January, then revised them just over a week later after community feedback flagged inconsistencies. With launch now three weeks away, this third pass scales the performance targets all the way up to 4K at 200+ FPS using NVIDIA DLSS 4.5.
The Minimum (1080p at 30 FPS on Low) and Recommended (1080p at 60 FPS on Medium) targets are unchanged from January’s revision. The new Enthusiast tier is split into two options: 1440p at 60 FPS with an RTX 4070 or RX 7800 XT, or 4K at 60 FPS with an RTX 4080 or RX 7900 XTX, both running at the High preset. At the top, the Ultra tier targets 4K at 200+ FPS using DLSS 4.5, calling for a Core i5-13600K or Ryzen 7 7700X, an RTX 5080, 32GB of RAM, and 16GB of VRAM.
A couple of details stand out. Performance targets for the Minimum, Recommended, and Enthusiast tiers are all native rendering, with DLSS only factored into the Ultra tier’s 4K at 200+ FPS target. That’s a surprisingly honest way to present specs these days, since most modern games bake DLSS or FSR into their recommended targets without making it obvious. Path tracing and DLSS Ray Reconstruction won’t ship with the game either, arriving as a post-launch update in Summer 2026.
007 First Light launches on May 27, 2026, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The Switch 2 version was recently delayed and won’t be available at launch. With the game now about three weeks out, this should be the last spec update before launch, though IO Interactive’s track record here leaves room for one more surprise.
