Revision 5

PC System Requirements lists the official hardware tiers, NVIDIA feature support, and accessibility options for the PC build of 007 First Light. The tiers below come from IO Interactive's pre-launch reveal. Console specifications are not covered here; the broader platform list lives in the overview article.

Hardware Tiers

IO Interactive published five official hardware tiers, scaling from 1080p at 30 fps up to 4K at 200 fps and beyond. The Minimum, Recommended, and Enthusiast tiers are stated as native targets that do not require any upscaler. The Ultra tier reaches 4K at 200 fps and higher by enabling DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution and Dynamic Multi-Frame Generation on an RTX 5080. All tiers require 80 GB of SSD storage and a 64-bit version of Windows 10 or 11.

NVIDIA Features

The path-tracing mode and DLSS Ray Reconstruction support are not in the May 27, 2026 launch build. IO Interactive has committed to delivering both in a Summer 2026 update. At launch the renderer uses standard lighting techniques alongside a ray-tracing pass on shadows and reflections in the higher graphics presets.

NVIDIA also runs a launch promotion bundling 007 First Light with qualifying GeForce RTX 50 Series desktop and laptop GPUs (RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti, 5070, and 5060 Ti). The bundle is available while supplies last and runs through June 10, 2026, with eligible codes redeemable until July 8, 2026.

Storage and Install

The PC install requires SSD storage; HDD-only installs are unsupported. IO Interactive lists 80 GB of storage across every tier, in line with a modern Glacier engine build.

Input and Peripherals

• Full controller support including PlayStation, Xbox, and standard third-party controllers

• Keyboard and mouse with full rebinding

• HDR support on capable displays

• Steam Cloud for save sync

Accessibility

The accessibility options confirmed by IO Interactive at launch cover:

Notes On Performance

The Minimum tier assumes Low presets at 1080p with upscaling off, targeting 30 fps. The Recommended tier assumes Medium presets at 1080p targeting 60 fps, and the two Enthusiast tiers target native 1440p and native 4K at 60 fps on High presets. The Ultra tier is the only one that relies on DLSS 4.5 upscaling, using it to push 4K past 200 fps on an RTX 5080.

DLSS 4.5 Dynamic Multi-Frame Generation can generate up to five additional frames per traditionally rendered frame. Effective input latency at high frame multipliers depends on the rendered frame rate before generation kicks in: lower base rates produce more visible artifacts and worse latency, so frame generation pays off best on hardware that already reaches a solid base frame rate.

Summer 2026 Update

IO Interactive has scheduled a Summer 2026 PC update to add full ray tracing and DLSS Ray Reconstruction. Updated spec targets may accompany that update for the path-traced mode.

DLSS and Ultra Preset Note

IO Interactive has been explicit that DLSS upscaling is enabled only on the Ultra preset tier in the official spec sheet. The Minimum, Recommended, and both Enthusiast tiers are stated as native targets that do not assume upscaling. The Ultra tier is the only one that leans on DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution and Dynamic Multi-Frame Generation to push past 200 frames per second at 4K on an RTX 5080.

RTX 50 Series Bundle

NVIDIA bundles a Steam copy of the game with qualifying GeForce RTX 50 Series desktop graphics cards, prebuilt desktops, and laptops. The bundle promotion runs from May 13 to June 10, 2026; eligible codes can be redeemed through the NVIDIA app until July 8, 2026. One code per customer.

The bundle ships as a Steam key, redeemable through the NVIDIA app once the qualifying hardware is registered. Codes are issued while supplies last during the purchase window.

Anti-Tamper DRM

The Steam build of 007 First Light ships with Denuvo Anti-Tamper DRM. The DRM was added to the Steam product page on May 21, 2026, six days before the public launch. It does not require an always-online connection but does perform periodic online validation. The Denuvo DRM article covers the timeline, the published behaviour, and the player response in more detail.

Players who plan to install on an offline PC should still expect the first launch to require an internet connection so the DRM can complete its initial validation. After that initial activation, the game can run fully offline for an extended period before another check is required.
