IO Interactive Has Changed System Requirements for 007 First Light

Last week, IO Interactive unveiled the system requirements of their upcoming video game 007 First Light. However, the studio has decided to update them after players's reactions and released a new statement.

The developers have published a post on X social media, where they reveal new system requirements for 007 First Light after some “inconsistencies” were noticed by the gamers. The biggest changes are the recommended amount of RAM has been reduced to 16GB from 32GB, as well as the minimum CPU and VRAM have been updated as well.

“We are providing today an update to the PC system requirements for 007 First Light after the community flagged some inconsistencies in an earlier version of the listing.

The earlier mistake was due to an internal miscommunication leading to an older version of the specs to be shared. After a thorough re-examination and additional testing, the recommended RAM has been corrected from 32GB to 16GB, VRAM values have been updated, and the minimum CPU line has been fixed. Additional performance targets will be shared closer to launch.

We’re sorry for the confusion this caused and appreciate everyone who brought it to our attention. The updated specs are now live on our store pages, and we’re looking forward to sharing more of 007 First Light with you ahead of launch.”
