007 First Light Has Now Sold 4 Million Copies Worldwide
The 4 million total follows 1.5 million copies sold during the game's first 24 hours, while IO Interactive credited players around the world for the result.
007 First Light has reached 4 million copies sold since launch, giving IO Interactive a major sales milestone for its James Bond adventure. The studio shared the new total on August 20, 2026, in a Steam announcement that thanked players around the world for supporting Bond’s return to gaming. The result came less than three months after its May 2026 launch on PC, Xbox, and PS5.
IO Interactive said the achievement would not have been possible without that worldwide support. The message also connected the sales mark to the game’s Earn The Number journey, celebrating 4 million copies sold since launch.
The latest figure follows an opening 1.5 million copies sold during the game’s first 24 hours. Sales had already passed 2.7 million copies by early June, before the current total reached 4 million. Our first-day sales report covered that earlier result, meaning the current total is 2.5 million copies higher than the initial update.
Hitman: World of Assassination Remains Far Ahead
Hitman: World of Assassination had reached 25 million copies sold and 80 million players, putting its copy total 21 million ahead of 007 First Light. The Hitman milestone was celebrated with an Elusive Target mission featuring Le Chiffre, the Casino Royale villain, creating a fitting connection between IO Interactive’s long-running assassin series and its newer Bond adventure.
007 First Light Continues to Receive Post-Launch Support
The July 24 Behind Enemy Lines update added two TacSim missions, the DRS-7 Silence SMG, the Diamond in the Rough outfit, and more than 200 bug fixes.
For IO Interactive, the number reflects both the game’s commercial performance and the response to James Bond’s return to video games. 007 First Light now has 4 million copies sold, giving the studio plenty to celebrate alongside its thank-you to players.
