Want to know the best way to get the new 007 game, Origin? Check out our complete guide for all the details on when it comes out, what it’s about, how it plays, who’s in it, the different versions available, and where you can play. When you’re ready to buy, here’s what to consider: Is it included with Xbox Game Pass? Can you start playing early? And which version gives you the most for your money?

Here are clear, sourced answers to all three — with any inferences flagged as such.

Is 007 First Light on Xbox Game Pass?

007 First Light has not been announced for Xbox Game Pass at launch on May 27, 2026.

So far, neither the game developer, IO Interactive, nor Microsoft has said anything about adding the game to Xbox Game Pass. It’s also not listed with a Game Pass badge on the Xbox Store, and Microsoft usually advertises games launching on the service quite early. While it’s not a definite confirmation, the lack of any announcement this close to the game’s release strongly suggests it won’t be available on Game Pass from day one.

IO Interactive isn’t owned by Microsoft, and their new 007 game is coming to PlayStation, Xbox, and PC all at the same time. This doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t be on Game Pass – games from other studios and on multiple platforms can still be added through separate deals – but there hasn’t been any announcement about that yet.

Could the game come to Game Pass later? It’s possible. IO Interactive has added previous games, like Hitman: World of Assassination, to the service after they were initially released. While this doesn’t guarantee 007 First Light will do the same, it’s not impossible. Currently, there are no plans announced, and there’s no date to expect it. If you want to play on day one, you’ll need to buy the game.

Is 007 First Light on PS Plus?

Currently, 007 First Light isn’t included with PlayStation Plus, and there are no plans to add it in the future. It’s available for purchase at its full retail price on PlayStation 5.

007 First Light Early Access: What It Is and How to Get It

When we say “early access” for 007 First Light, it simply means players who pre-order the digital version will get a 24-hour jumpstart on playing the game.

If you pre-order the digital version of 007 First Light, you’ll be able to start playing on May 26, 2026 – a full day before the official release on May 27th. This isn’t an early access version of the game; it’s the complete, finished game, just available one day sooner for those who pre-order digitally.

Which platforms get early access?

You can get early access by pre-ordering the game on the PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, Steam, or Epic Games Store. This early access period lasts for 24 hours.

Regarding the Nintendo Switch 2: Currently, pre-orders for the game on Switch 2 are only available as physical copies. The links for the free Deluxe upgrade and 24-hour early access on IOI’s website lead to the PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, and Epic Games stores – the Switch 2 isn’t included. The Switch 2 version is also launching later, in Summer 2026 (with no specific date yet), so early access details for that version might be different. For the latest information on the Switch 2 version, please visit the official IOI pre-order page.

Do I need a specific edition for early access?

You’ll get early access simply by pre-ordering the game digitally – it doesn’t matter which edition you choose, even the Standard Edition works! The 24-hour head start is available with any digital pre-order.

007 First Light Pre-Order Bonuses: What You Actually Get

If you pre-order 007 First Light on PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, or the Epic Games Store, you’ll automatically get the Deluxe Edition for free. IO Interactive provides links to these stores on their website. The Deluxe content is also included with physical copies, but when you can start playing early may differ depending on where you buy it – so check the details before you purchase. Right now, pre-ordering the standard digital version is a great deal: you pay the regular price, but receive the extra content of the Deluxe Edition and gain early access to the game.

The Deluxe Edition upgrade includes:

24-hour early access (digital pre-orders only)
Four exclusive outfits: Day of the Dead, Desert Explorer, Silent Anchor, Gentleman Operator
Weapon skin: Agent’s Mark
Gleaming Pack: four gadget skins — Gleaming Lighter, Gleaming Earphones, Gleaming Dart Gun, and Gleaming Pen

Just so you know, some stores that sell physical copies of the game list one of the special skins as the “Gleaming Phone” instead of the correct name, “Gleaming Dart Gun.” This is a mistake that appears in some retail listings, but the digital versions of the game (on PlayStation, Steam, and Epic Games Store) all correctly label it as the “Gleaming Dart Gun.”

The Deluxe upgrade is free if you pre-order the game. IOI hasn’t announced when this offer ends or what the price will be after launch. Check ioi.dk/007firstlightgame after the game is released to see if it’s still available and how much it costs.

IOI Account Milestone Rewards

In addition to the usual pre-order benefits, IOI is running a community event on Steam. If you create a free IOI Account and add the game to your Steam wishlist, you’ll receive exclusive cosmetic rewards as the community reaches certain goals. These rewards are available to everyone, regardless of which version of the game you buy.

All 007 First Light Editions Compared

Here’s a detailed look at all the versions currently offered, including what’s included in each and how much they cost.

Standard Edition

The Standard Edition costs $69.99, €69.99, or £59.99. The price of the physical copy may differ depending on where you buy it and which gaming platform you use.

This package includes the full game, featuring the main story campaign and the TacSim content. If you pre-order the digital version, you’ll get a free upgrade to the Deluxe Edition and be able to start playing 24 hours early. Prices and availability of the physical copy may differ depending on your location and the store you buy it from, so please check with your local retailer.

Deluxe Edition

$79.99 / €79.99 / £69.99 (SRP) — Standalone purchase, available at launch

The Deluxe Edition is a paid upgrade you can buy if you didn’t pre-order the game. If you bought a physical copy like the Specialist, Collector’s, or Legacy Edition, it already includes these upgrades. This is just for players who want to purchase the cosmetic pack separately. It comes with four unique outfits, a special weapon skin, and a Gleaming Pack – everything that was available as a pre-order bonus, except for the 24-hour early access, which won’t be available at the time of purchase. Please check your local store to confirm it’s in stock and to see what format it’s offered in.

Specialist Edition

$69.99 — Amazon-exclusive, Physical Only

This game is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2 (using a game key card). The Specialist Edition costs the same as the regular Standard Edition, but comes with extra content.

Exclusive game packaging
Deluxe Edition upgrade content
Classic Tuxedo outfit — the only edition to include it

The Classic Tuxedo is a special item that’s only included with the Specialist Edition. You can’t buy it separately or find it in any other edition right now. If you really want this tuxedo, the Specialist Edition is the only way to get it.

Collector’s Edition

007 Store Collector’s Edition Price $199.99 / €199.99 / £169.99 (SRP) — Limited, Physical Only

Not available for Nintendo Switch 2. Includes everything in the Deluxe upgrade plus:

What’s included might differ a little depending on where you are and where you buy it. Please check the official IOI pre-order page to confirm exactly what you’ll receive before you make your purchase.

Legacy Edition

Legacy Edition Price $299.99 / €299.99 / £259.99 — Limited, Physical Only

Golden Gun figurine with display stand and secret compartment
Steelbook case with magnet
Certificate of authenticity
Golden Gun weapon skin (in-game)
Obsidian Gold Suit (in-game)
All Deluxe Edition upgrade content

We have a limited number of items available. Please note that the Classic Tuxedo outfit isn’t part of this version; it’s only available with the Specialist Edition right now.

Which Edition Should You Buy?

Okay, so this info is based on what things cost and what’s included right now, according to what we know. Basically, don’t take it as a promise that prices or what you get will stay the same later – things change, you know how it is with games!

If you’re looking for the cheapest way to get the game and plan to download it, pre-ordering the Standard Edition digitally will give you some bonus cosmetic items from the Deluxe Edition, plus you’ll be able to start playing a day early. This free upgrade to Deluxe items is only available when you pre-order, so double-check the current offer details before you buy.

If you’d like the Classic Tuxedo costume and prefer a physical copy, the Specialist Edition is currently your only option, and it costs $69.99.

For a special physical item, consider the Collector’s Edition ($199.99) which features a gold mask replica, or the Legacy Edition ($299.99) which includes a Golden Gun figurine – complete with a stand and a hidden compartment.
