Details of First Major Patch for 007 First Light

The first major update for 007 First Light features new TacSim missions and unlockable Intel outfits, including the DRS-7 Silenced SMG and the ‘Diamond in the Rough’ outfit. It also includes several general fixes across the board.

007 First Light is the first major James Bond story released since the 2021 film No Time to Die. It’s also the first major James Bond game in over a decade.

The game puts players in control of a young James Bond, a recruit in the MI6 program, as he seeks to earn the 007 designation. Now, the game is receiving its first major update since launch, with fixes for several missions and more.
