Image credit: IOI News by Vikki Blake Contributor Published on July 26, 2026 8 comments Follow 007 First Light 007 First Light's first major post-launch update, Patch 1.1.0, is here, introducing "fixes and improvements for over 200 issues reported by the community and our internal playtesters". "From crash fixes and clipping issues to infamous achievement unlock bugs, this update demonstrates our team's commitment to refining the 007 First Light experience," the team explained. "While our immediate post-launch focus was on addressing technical issues, we didn't want to release the update without adding any new content: Therefore, Update 1.1.0 will also introduce two new TacSim missions to 007 First Light," IO explained in a blog post. "On top of that, we are also adding a series of brand new unlockable TacSim rewards, such as the DRS-7 Silenced SMG or the 'Diamond in the Rough' outfit. These rewards can be acquired using your hard-earned Intel currency after reaching the required clearance level." The patch size depends upon what platform you're playing on – Steam's is 3.6GB, Microsoft PC is 2.24GB, Epic Games Store is 3.99GB, Xbox Series is 1.39GB, and PS5 is a whopping 23.84GB – "Our work does not stop here. More improvements and content updates are already in development. Stay tuned for what lies ahead," the patch notes concluded. Here's what's new.

But where there should be celebration there is instead commiseration, as the studio undergoes a wave of layoffs caused by the termination of a publishing deal by Xbox for the studio's online role-playing game Project Fantasy. There appears to be a future for both James Bond and Project Fantasy at the studio, but exactly what materialises, we'll have to wait and see. IO Interactive recently shared more development insight about arguably the stand-out character in 007 First Light: James Bond's mentor figure, John Greenway.
