Recorded DRM removal and Steam Deck Verified status; corrected the Steam achievement count
007 First Light's PC release ships with four official spec tiers: Minimum (1080p / 30 FPS), Recommended (1080p / 60 FPS), High (1440p / 60 FPS), and Ultra (4K / 60+ FPS with DLSS). The Ultra tier targets the new GeForce RTX 50 Series and supports Dynamic Multi-Frame Generation at launch. Path tracing and DLSS Ray Reconstruction were announced for a Summer 2026 update rather than launch and had not yet shipped as of early August 2026.

Feature | At Launch | Summer 2026 Update |
|---|---|---|
DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution | Yes | Yes |
DLSS Dynamic Multi-Frame Generation (up to 5 generated frames) | Yes (RTX 50 Series) | Yes |
DLSS Ray Reconstruction | No | Yes |
Path tracing | No | Yes |

Ultrawide and super-ultrawide | Yes | Yes |
NVIDIA's RTX 50 Series bundle ran from May 14 through June 10, 2026 and included a free copy of the game with eligible GPU purchases. The dev-collab dev post detailing DLSS 4.5 and Dynamic Multi-Frame Generation describes the Summer 2026 path tracing addition as a free update for all PC owners.
AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) is supported as an upscaling alternative for AMD GPUs. Intel XeSS is supported for Intel Arc GPUs. Both alternatives target similar quality settings to DLSS at the same render resolutions, with hardware-specific deltas on performance.
PC builds shipped with Denuvo DRM, added to the Steam page on May 21, 2026 and removed on July 24, 2026 alongside Game Update 1.1.0. While the DRM was active it performed periodic online validation checks, with offline play supported between checks. Current builds no longer include Denuvo. Refund requests filed before May 27 launch were honored by Steam per its standard refund policy.
007 First Light is Steam Deck Verified. IO Interactive announced the verification on July 27, 2026, three days after Denuvo Anti-Tamper was removed from the PC build with Game Update 1.1.0 (see Denuvo DRM).
