Players waiting for 007 First Light on Nintendo Switch 2 can breathe a little easier. While the hybrid console version did not launch alongside the other platforms, IO Interactive has confirmed that development is still moving forward.
According to the source, the team is continuing work on the Nintendo Switch 2 version, with a focus on optimization and performance so the final release can meet the quality expected by players.
Nintendo Switch 2 Version Still in Development
007 First Light was originally planned to launch on Nintendo Switch 2 around the same period as the other versions, but its release was pushed back. This led some players to wonder about the status of the port.
The latest update from IO Interactive confirms that the version is still actively being worked on. The team explained that the extra development time is being used to polish the experience and make sure it reaches the quality level they want for players.
Late Summer Release Target Remains
The source states that 007 First Light for Nintendo Switch 2 is still aiming for a release window in late summer, around July to August.
IO Interactive also noted that if there are more updates in the future, the team will share them with players. For now, the message is clear: the port is still on track, development progress is positive, and players should not be too worried.
About 007 First Light
007 First Light is an action game powered by Glacier Technology, the same proprietary engine used by IO Interactive. The game offers sandbox-style missions where players can take down or confront enemies in different ways.
The story follows James Bond as he is recruited by MI6 and begins his journey toward becoming a 00 agent. The game explores his earlier years, starting from his time as an airman before he becomes the legendary spy known around the world.
According to the source, 007 First Light is currently available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
The delay may be disappointing for players who wanted 007 First Light on Nintendo Switch 2 right away, but taking more time for optimization is usually the better move. If IO Interactive can keep the action smooth and the sandbox missions intact, the Switch 2 version could still become a strong portable way to experience Bond’s origin story.
