007 First Light Will Run at 60fps on PS5 Pro
IO Interactive has confirmed that 007 First Light will run at 60 frames-per-second on PS5 Pro, addressing long-standing performance concerns that emerged when the game’s footage was first revealed in September 2025. The developer utilized additional development time to optimize the game’s performance, particularly for the demanding action sequences that had sparked fan worries about frame rate stability.
On the base PS5, the game will launch with two graphics modes on May 27th, 2026. Performance Mode will deliver 60fps gameplay, while Quality Mode will prioritize visual fidelity at 30fps. Although IO Interactive has not yet disclosed the specific resolution targets for each mode, this dual-mode approach allows players to choose between smooth performance and enhanced graphics quality.
For console players seeking the best possible James Bond experience, the PS5 Pro represents the optimal way to play 007 First Light, delivering the full 60fps experience with enhanced graphics capabilities. However, players on high-end PC systems will still be able to achieve better overall performance and visuals compared to console versions.
The confirmation of these performance targets provides relief to the gaming community, which had expressed considerable skepticism about the game’s optimization following the initial gameplay reveal. IO Interactive’s commitment to achieving 60fps performance on current-generation console hardware demonstrates the studio’s determination to deliver a polished experience befitting the prestigious James Bond franchise.
