Eager to begin your spy work? Here are the 007 First Light release times

It’s been a long, long wait for another James Bond game, but the day has come for IO Interactive’s spin on the franchise to finally be put out into the wild.

If you’re excited for a bit of spy action, you’ll want to know the exact 007 First Light release time in your area, allowing you to get into espionage antics on launch.

Thankfully, we’ll break down when 007 First Light comes out around the world, so you’ll be good to go asap.

What are the 007 First Light release times?

007 First Light releases globally on May 27, 2026, with IO Interactive opting for a simultaneous worldwide launch rather than a rolling midnight unlock.

That means everyone gets access at the same moment, but your local time will depend on where you are. The global unlock is primed for 10 AM PDT/3 PM BST, and here is a breakdown of worldwide time zones:

So, sadly, there’s no cheeky New Zealand trick to pull here, meaning hopping regions won’t get you into those MI6 offices any earlier.

What time does 007 First Light early access start?

007 First Light early access begins 24 hours before the standard launch, meaning if you dropped the cash for the Deluxe Edition, you can start on May 26, 2026, at the same regional times listed above.

Now all that’s left to do is pre-pour a martini, ensure everything is installed correctly, and you’ll be punching a bunch of criminals in no time.
