007, the mission is simple: boot up Steam, select program file “007 First Light,” and select Play. But please note that you will need 32 GB of RAM to meet the recommended specs for this operation. After delaying 007 First Light from its original March release date to May 27 last month, developer IO Interactive has revealed the PC specs and system requirements needed to run the game. Hopefully, you have the RAM to run it.
Unfortunately, the specs revealed today are only for 1080p/30 FPS (minimum hardware requirements) and 1080p/60 FPS (recommended hardware requirements), so there’s no word on what kind of PC you’ll need to play the game at, say, 1440p or 4K or even an FPS rate higher than 60. Nonetheless, you can find the requirements below:
