007 First Light posts rapid early sales as PS5 drives the majority of purchases
IO Interactive's James Bond title 007 First Light has hit a major commercial milestone just over one week after launch, according to sales analysis shared with press.
Alinea Analytics analyst Rhyss Elliot, speaking via Eurogamer, reported that the action-adventure release sold through 2.2 million copies across platforms during that initial window.
Sales and revenue breakdown
Elliot's breakdown clarified that the 2.2 million figure represents sold-through units only, excluding any unsold retail inventory.
The platform split showed a dominant PlayStation 5 performance, with 55.1% of units sold on PS5, 33.1% on Steam, and 11.8% across Xbox platforms (including console, Windows, and cloud).
On revenue, Elliot estimated total gross receipts of roughly $150 million for 007 First Light in the opening week.
The revenue composition skewed even more heavily toward PlayStation, with 60.5% of gross revenue attributed to PlayStation sales, 27.6% to Steam, and 12.9% to Xbox.
Switch 2 port delayed to summer
IO Interactive confirmed in April that the Nintendo Switch 2 version of 007 First Light will be delayed and is scheduled for release later in summer 2026.
The studio's announcement moved the Nintendo port out of its originally planned window and set a new target of summer 2026 for the Switch 2 launch.
Music tie-in and broader coverage
The launch period also featured a music tie-in: singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey debuted a new track titled 'First Light' connected to the game's release.
Coverage of the game has included extended demo impressions highlighting multiple gameplay approaches and discussion of platform-specific performance.
What the numbers indicate
The early sold-through total and estimated $150 million gross underline a strong commercial start for IO Interactive's James Bond entry, with PlayStation hardware and the PC Steam storefront providing the largest shares of both unit sales and revenue.
IO Interactive and platform partners will likely watch sales pacing and the delayed Switch 2 release as the title continues its market run.
For readers tracking Nintendo-specific developments, the Switch 2 launch window for 007 First Light is now set for summer 2026, and further updates will appear on IO Interactive's channels and digital storefronts such as the eShop when available.
