Words Can't Describe How Happy And Honored I Am To Be Working @IGN As a Freelancer Seeing My Name on The Official Site Along With The Gameplay I Edited/Submitted is Really a Testament of How Far I Have Come Thank You All For The Support And Love Since I First Announced It 🙏🙏
007 First Light sequels will be published by Amazon Games, unlike First Light which was self-published by IO🚀

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.

If the whole game is this good ... Capcom is for sure looking at yet ANOTHER Game of the Year contender in Onimusha.
Capcom has had such an incredible run in 2026.
Until Dawn 2
God of War Laufey
Wolverine
Omnimusha
All these games carried the show other than that, it was mostly multiplats and games we already saw and that were already leaked! Stuntman was a very nice surprise tho and mind you, we still have no word from Naughty Dog in regards to Intergalactic after all this time, so it's definitely true at this point that we aren't getting anything for it until the PS6, which is wild considering the last game we got from them was in 2020
Overall, I give the show a 7/10, and what's funny about this is that Sony actually thought this show was theater-worthy
