IO Interactive confirmed at Tokyo Game Show that the Nintendo Switch 2 version of 007 First Light will run at 30 frames per second when it launches.
The Copenhagen-based studio, best known for the Hitman series, used the industry showcase to update fans on the status of the port after earlier delays and questions about performance targets on Nintendo hardware.
At Tokyo Game Show, IO Interactive said the Switch 2 edition of 007 First Light was held up by a combination of technical work to meet the studio’s quality standards and by additional requests from the publisher’s marketing team.
In journalistic terms: IO Interactive told attendees the delay was driven both by efforts to get the game running to the developer’s internal expectations and by marketing-driven scheduling changes.
The announcement is notable because hardware-specific performance is frequently a deciding factor for players on Nintendo platforms.
The Nintendo Switch launched on March 3, 2017, as a hybrid console, and Nintendo hardware has since remained a distinct target for ports due to its unique architecture.
The device commonly referred to as Nintendo Switch 2 has been a focus for developers aiming to optimize frame rate, resolution, and control schemes for the next generation of Nintendo hardware.
IO Interactive did not provide a firm release date for the Nintendo Switch 2 version at Tokyo Game Show, and no eShop listing or Nintendo Direct slot has been confirmed for a launch announcement.
The studio’s public comments focused on transparency about the port’s baseline performance at release—30fps—and the reasons for the timeline shifts, rather than a specific launch window.
For readers tracking this release: follow IO Interactive’s official channels and Nintendo’s announcement platforms, including Nintendo Direct and the eShop, for the latest confirmation of release dates, technical specs, and availability.
IO Interactive’s track record with stealth-action titles and the Hitman franchise means the studio is experienced with cross-platform optimization, and the Tokyo Game Show update clarifies the immediate performance expectation for Switch 2 owners.
As the situation develops, verified updates from IO Interactive and Nintendo will be the primary sources for release scheduling and further technical details about 007 First Light on Nintendo Switch 2.
