PC System Requirements
May 20, 2026 at 03:14 AM
Corrected PC hardware requirements to the two official tiers (Minimum GTX 1660 1080p/30, Recommended RTX 3060 Ti 1080p/60, 32 GB RAM, 80 GB SSD); removed unconfirmed Enthusiast and Ultra 4K/200fps tiers; fixed engine name and storage figure; added RTX 50 Series bundle note
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.
Tier | Target | CPU | GPU | RAM | VRAM | Storage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Minimum | 1080p / 30 fps | Intel Core i5-9500K or AMD Ryzen 5 3500 | GeForce GTX 1660 or Radeon RX 5700 (or equivalent Intel discrete GPU) | 16 GB | 8 GB | 80 GB SSD |
Recommended | 1080p / 60 fps | Intel Core i5-13500K or AMD Ryzen 5 7600 | GeForce RTX 3060 Ti or Radeon RX 6700 XT (or equivalent Intel discrete GPU) | 32 GB | 12 GB | 80 GB SSD |
IO Interactive published these two tiers as the official targets and has not released higher 4K or enthusiast tiers as of the launch window. Neither tier requires DLSS or any other upscaler to hit its stated target, though enabling DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution and Dynamic Multi-Frame Generation frees significant headroom and is the path to higher resolutions and uncapped frame rates on stronger hardware.
Feature | Available at launch? |
|---|---|
DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution | Yes |
DLSS 4.5 Dynamic Multi-Frame Generation (up to 5 generated frames per rendered frame) | Yes |
DLSS Ray Reconstruction | Summer 2026 |
Full ray tracing / path tracing | Summer 2026 |
Uncapped framerate | Yes |
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 patch. Until then the lighting model uses standard pre-baked and screen-space techniques, with a regular ray-tracing pass on shadows and reflections in the highest-tier 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 offer runs through June 10, 2026.
The PC install requires SSD storage; HDD-only installs are unsupported. IO Interactive lists 80 GB of storage for both the Minimum and Recommended tiers, in line with a modern Glacier engine build.
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
The accessibility roster confirmed at launch covers:
Category | Options |
|---|---|
Subtitles | Subtitle size, background opacity, color, and speaker name toggle |
Menu narration | Full text-to-speech narration of menus and HUD prompts |
Input | Controller and keyboard remapping; multiple sensitivity profiles |
Audio | Multiple audio mixes; separated dialogue, effects, and music sliders; mono toggle |
Quick-time events | Auto-complete option that bypasses input prompts during QTE moments |
Combat assists | Aim assist softness, lock-on radius, and parry-window leniency adjustable per difficulty |
The Minimum tier assumes Low presets at 1080p with upscaling off, targeting 30 fps. The Recommended tier assumes higher presets at 1080p targeting 60 fps. Players with stronger hardware than the Recommended tier can push to higher resolutions and frame rates using DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution and Dynamic Multi-Frame Generation; IO Interactive has not published a dedicated 4K or 200 fps spec tier.
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.
IO Interactive has scheduled a Summer 2026 PC update to add full ray tracing and DLSS Ray Reconstruction. Updated or higher spec targets may accompany that update for the path-traced mode.
