Update on January 15, 2026: IO Interactive just passed along an updated list of PC system requirements for 007: First Light. These updated system requirements correct several of the issues present in the original release (seen below). These issues including incorrect VRAM amounts, listing of hardware that just doesn't even exist, and apparently incorrect system RAM required.
I'll keep the original news post below for reference. I have updated the image above with the new and corrected version of the system requirements. I'll also include the updated system requirements in text form if you cannot see the above image for any reason.

Original Story:
007 First Light was recently delayed from March to a May 27, 2026 release. You may want to take those couple of additional months to make sure your PC is up to snuff in order to run the game properly because your system might need a bit of an upgrade for you to do so.
IO Interactive has collaborated with Nvidia for some of the technologies used in 007 First Light. This means you will see features such as RTX, DLSS 4, and Multi Frame Generation used here.
The minimum requirements for 007 First Light target 1080p resolution at just 30 FPS. The recommended requirements are still targeting 1080p resolution but at 60 FPS. Over time, I have come to expect "recommended" specs to be for something like 4K resolution or 120 FPS, so it's a bit worrying and confusing why we're only seeing 1080p 60 FPS for recommended when it comes to PC requirements.
"Our partnership with NVIDIA on 007 First Light allows us to deliver a PC experience that matches the level of quality we believe the Bond franchise deserves. Performance, responsiveness, and visual fidelity, it all needs to feel effortless for the player, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX technologies including DLSS 4 enables us to deliver exactly that," shared Ulas Karademir, CTO at IO Interactive.
The full system requirements can be found below. 007 First Light is out on May 27, 2026 for PC and consoles.

There's a non-K version but the 9500K just isn't a thing.
They really messed up these requirements in several ways. It's hard to take it seriously.
