IO Interactive tapped singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey to perform the official theme for its upcoming James Bond tie-in, 007 First Light.
The game is scheduled to release on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on May 27, 2026; a Nintendo Switch 2 port is in development but has been delayed into Summer 2026, a change the studio has publicly confirmed.
Del Rey released the song, titled "First Light," accompanied by a lyric video on YouTube.
The video presents the song’s lyrics over a static image of the game’s protagonist rather than in-game cutscenes or cinematic footage.
IO Interactive’s choice follows an industry precedent of hiring established recording artists for high-profile game themes; EA Games, for example, enlisted Mýa for the theme to 2004’s James Bond tie-in Everything or Nothing.
Observers have noted that Del Rey’s vocal delivery aligns with the moody, orchestral tone traditionally associated with Bond themes.
The lyric video provides listeners direct access to the song’s words while keeping visual presentation minimal; the developer has not released an accompanying cinematic music video featuring gameplay as of the song’s debut.
From a release standpoint, 007 First Light will launch on PC via standard digital storefronts and on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles on May 27, 2026.
IO Interactive has confirmed the Nintendo Switch 2 edition will follow later in Summer 2026.
No specific eShop release date for the Switch 2 version has been announced.
IO Interactive is the developer best known for the Hitman series and for handling major licensed projects with cinematic presentation and stealth-action mechanics. 007 First Light represents the studio’s continuing work in AAA action and franchise-based titles.
With the theme by Lana Del Rey now public and the main release date set, attention will shift to post-launch support, platform performance, and the awaited Switch 2 version once IO Interactive provides a firm date.
For players tracking platform availability and official media, the lyric video on YouTube and IO Interactive’s public statements remain the primary sources for the theme release and the Switch 2 delay.
