IO Interactive and Amazon MGM Studios have released a free Starter Pack for 007 First Light that lets you play the game’s opening mission in Iceland at no cost. IO Interactive announced it on 5 November 2026 as available on PC through Steam and Xbox Series X|S, with PlayStation 5 following on 10 November. If you then buy the game, your progress carries over.
What you get
The Starter Pack is the first mission and no more; IO Interactive calls it “a taste of the adventure that awaits”. PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers have a separate one-hour Timed Trial of the game, and progress from that carries over too. The Xbox store listing says the full game adds the entire story, Challenges and the Tactical Simulations mode.
The sale
IO Interactive announced full-game discounts of 40% on Steam from 5 to 9 November, 40% on Xbox Series X|S from 5 to 15 November, and 50% on PS5 from 5 to 30 November. Check the retailer for the offer on your chosen edition and in your region. In our view, the free mission is the sensible way to find out whether IO Interactive’s young Bond is for you before you buy it. The game is also up for Ultimate Game of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards, whose winners are announced on 11 November.
