Editions and Pre-Order Bonuses
May 24, 2026 at 08:58 AM
Pre-launch enrichment (2026-05-24): added launch timeline, console performance, ESRB rating
Editions and Pre-Order Bonuses covers the retail editions, the pre-order Deluxe upgrade, and the early-access window for 007 First Light. IO Interactive sells the game in four editions: Standard, Specialist, Collector's, and Legacy. Every edition includes the same complete single-player campaign, and no story content is locked behind a paid tier. The differences are physical collectibles and cosmetic in-game items.
Edition | Format | Headline Contents |
|---|---|---|
Standard | Digital | Base game plus the pre-order Deluxe upgrade. The only edition sold as a digital download, and the only one that grants early access through a pre-order. |
Specialist | Physical | A boxed copy of the base game with the Deluxe upgrade, plus an exclusive Classic Tuxedo outfit that is not in any other edition. |
Collector's | Physical | Base game, Deluxe upgrade, a life-size wearable mask prop replica, a steel case, and the digital Obsidian Gold outfit. |
Legacy | Physical | The top-tier edition. Adds a 1:1 scale Golden Gun replica, a Golden Gun figurine, a steel case, a certificate of authenticity, the Obsidian Gold suit, and a Golden Gun weapon skin. Sold in highly limited numbers through the official store. |
Pre-ordering any edition grants the Deluxe upgrade for free. The Deluxe upgrade is a content pack, not a separate edition, so it stacks on top of whichever edition is purchased. It bundles four outfits (Day of the Dead, Desert Explorer, Silent Anchor, and Gentleman Operator), the Agent's Mark weapon skin, and the Gleaming Pack of gadget skins. All of these are cosmetic items that do not change gameplay or stats.
Deluxe Upgrade Item | Type | Details |
|---|---|---|
Day of the Dead | Outfit | One of four cosmetic outfits for Bond, usable in story missions and in Tactical Simulation runs. |
Desert Explorer | Outfit | Cosmetic outfit for Bond included in the Deluxe upgrade. |
Silent Anchor | Outfit | Cosmetic outfit for Bond included in the Deluxe upgrade. |
Gentleman Operator | Outfit | Cosmetic outfit for Bond included in the Deluxe upgrade. |
Agent's Mark | Weapon skin | A cosmetic skin applied to one of Bond's pistols. |
Gleaming Pack | Gadget skin set | A gold-plated cosmetic skin set for Q Branch gadgets, covering the Gleaming Lighter, Gleaming Earphones, Gleaming Phone, and Gleaming Pen. |
Pre-ordering a digital edition unlocks 24-hour early access ahead of the May 27, 2026 launch date. Early access is tied to the digital pre-order specifically; physical editions ship for the standard launch date. The early-access window applies to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, the three platforms launching on May 27, 2026. The Nintendo Switch 2 version arrives later, in Summer 2026.
Everything that varies between editions and in the Deluxe upgrade is cosmetic or a physical collectible. Outfits, weapon skins, and gadget skins change appearance only; they do not alter weapon damage, gadget behavior, or any in-game stat. This mirrors how cosmetic unlocks work in Tactical Simulation Mode, where Clearance Level progression and Intel currency unlock further outfits and skins after launch.
All editions contain the full campaign; buying up the edition ladder adds collectibles and cosmetics, never story content.
The Legacy edition's Golden Gun replica is the headline collectible and is produced in limited quantities through the official store.
Pre-order bonuses and edition contents are confirmed for the launch window and may be expanded by IO Interactive closer to or after release.
All four editions carry the same headline pricing across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Regional pricing varies by storefront and currency; the figures below are the headline United States dollar pricing announced by IO Interactive for the launch window.
Edition | Price (USD) | Format |
|---|---|---|
Standard | $69.99 | Digital download. Includes the Pre-Order Deluxe Upgrade when purchased before launch. |
Specialist | $69.99 | Physical, Amazon exclusive. Standard contents plus a Classic Tuxedo outfit. |
Collector's | $199.99 | Physical. Adds the wearable mask replica, Obsidian Gold outfit, steel case, and certificate. |
Legacy | $299.99 | Physical, limited quantities. Adds the Golden Gun figurine with secret compartment, the Golden Gun weapon skin, the Obsidian Gold outfit, and the magnetic steel case. |
The Standard edition is the only fully digital purchase. Specialist boxes ship through Amazon in select regions; Collector's and Legacy ship through the official store and authorised retailers in limited print runs.
