007 First Light has sold 2.2M copies across platforms (@alineaanalytics estimates), mostly via PlayStation. That's sold through, so no unsold retail copies.
The platform split is 55.1% PS5, 33.1% Steam, and 11.8% Xbox ( Xbox console, Windows, and cloud combined). In gross revenue terms, 007 First Light has generated $150M.
Owing to regional pricing and audience composition differences, the consoles make up a higher share of revenue than they do copies. Of the $150M, 60.5% came via PlayStation, 27.6% via Steam, and 12.9% via Xbox.
Part of this is because over two-thirds of 007 First Light‘s PS5 audience is in North America (43.4%) or Western Europe (23.2%), where local currency means the game generates more revenue per player. On Steam, under half of First Light‘s audience is from those same regions (31.8% North America, 15.1% Western Europe).
As we covered in last week’s 007 Steam piece, the Steam version is pulling in higher-than-expected numbers in China, which now accounts for 17.3% of First Light‘s Steam audience. 007 is the equivalent of $44 USD in China, which is roughly 37% cheaper than the US price and about 44% cheaper than Western Europe.

Paisano. The game came out’a yesterday and you are here calling it’a the flop.
The only one here cooked is’a you, tourist. Bookmarking this post so your ripe ragu ass can be mocked for’a later.
@Italianbagged Lol you lecture people on using AI and then use AI estimate for financial projection? You're cooked.
Ask the AI to account for platform cut, regional pricing and momentum decay for you and the estimate will look very different. If you didn't even think about that, LOL NGMI.
Posted 10pm at’a the night. 15 hrs later only 9.5k in’a the views? 175 likes? Come on, @YorchTorchGames. You claim to be’a the guy who knows what the gamers want but your engagement shows’a they do not care.
Paisano here needs to put the’a fries in the bag.
I'm glad the internet is being totally chill about playing as a woman in God of War, someone they can't relate to.
Which is odd because Kratos, a god with muscles and the ability to speak to women, is also something they can't relate to.
@HenryKalle2 First, bless you for’a not being terminally online.
Second, because women boss’s the James Bond around or something. The narrative has shifted around this’a game a lot.
“Player count is dropping at midnight”
Almost like the players in the US are’a the asleep on’a the Monday night. Because people have’a this thing called a job.
@1253Snacky@vincenzoeternal@GrumpyPawsTV No, paisano. That is incorrect. If’a the sales for a multiplatform game is at 1.5 million and you are’a only seeing 20-40k playing on’a the single platform, that does not make it accurate.
@1253Snacky@GrumpyPawsTV No. It is’a the tool that is good at letting the’a player base for online games know how active it is, especially at certain hours of’a the day. Single player games do not rely on that data. They need the sales figures for’a that.
How i’ma sleeping tonight knowing that:
1: 007 had’a surpassed sales figs of DA in 24hrs
2. Apogee dev ratio’d Yorch
3. Tucking my kids in’a their bed at night as’a I have the custody.
Facts don’t care’s about your feelings, @YorchTorchGames
