IO fixes PC specs for 007 First Light after community flags errors

IO Interactive has published an updated set of PC system requirements for 007 First Light after the community pointed out multiple errors in the first posting. The developer acknowledged “inconsistencies” and posted corrections on X.

The game is due on May 27, 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, Switch 2, and PC. IO moved the PlayStation 5 release from its earlier March date to May 27, 2026 to allow extra polish. Among the changes IO noted, the recommended RAM requirement was reduced from 32 GB to 16 GB. The minimum CPU line was corrected to remove an incorrect “K” suffix from the Intel part. The listed video RAM was also lowered for both the minimum and recommended tiers. IO said it will share additional performance targets closer to launch.

Console PC Gaming previously flagged an odd VRAM note when the initial specs went up, which the studio has now adjusted. The studio’s announcement on X confirmed the corrected values.
