007 First Light Delayed Again on Switch 2

Creating a work that lived up to a franchise of 007's caliber was no small feat, but IO Interactive succeeded completely. With 007 First Light, the Danish software house crafted a cinematic experience, with well-functioning gameplay and a brilliant protagonist: you can find details about it in our review. The game was released last May, but not on all platforms.

When Does First Light Come Out on Nintendo Switch 2

Nintendo Switch 2 missed the initial launch, and the appointment with Bond was postponed to summer 2026. Now, however, summer is almost over and there's still no trace of the secret agent; IO Interactive needs more time to fix the porting, so the launch window for 007 First Light on Switch 2 has been moved to March 2027. Side note: if you've already played First Light and want more, other James Bond games will arrive in the future.

Today we would like to provide an update on the Nintendo Switch 2 release of 007 First Light. We know many of you have been looking forward to experiencing Bond's reimagined origin story on Nintendo Switch 2, and we greatly appreciate your enthusiasm. To ensure we deliver the quality of experience players expect, we have made the decision to delay the release to March 2027, with the exact date to be communicated later. This additional time will go toward polishing the Nintendo Switch 2 performance of the game. We were thrilled by the positive feedback on 007 First Light at gamescom, and it's a great sign of the progress being made across the whole game as we head toward launch. The same demo will be playable at Tokyo Game Show this week, so please join us there if you would like a hands-on experience. We will share further updates as soon as we are ready. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support. #007FirstLight #EarnTheNumber
