007 First Light’s Switch 2 release date may be closer than we realised
IO Interactive’s 007 First Light is coming to Nintendo Switch 2, with a September 16 release date based on a listing discovered on Amazon Japan. While the game launched across multiple platforms in May 2026, the Switch 2 version was notably absent from the initial release, making it the last major platform to receive the title.
A leak spotted by users on the GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit surfaced the Amazon Japan listing with the September date, which aligns closely with IO Interactive’s previous statements that the Switch 2 version would arrive sometime during the summer. The listing remains live at the time of reporting, though IO Interactive has not officially confirmed the release date.
The delay of the Switch 2 version from the May launch suggests IO Interactive required additional development time to optimize the game for Nintendo’s latest hardware. The mid-September release window positions 007 First Light as a significant launch title for the Switch 2 library as the platform enters the latter months of 2026.
