Double‑O‑Seven: First Light has delayed its Nintendo Switch 2 version to summer 2026 while the PS5, Xbox Series and PC editions keep their May 27 release date.

IO Interactive has pushed the Nintendo Switch 2 version of *007 First Light* to summer 2026, while PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC stay set for May 27. (ign.com) The studio first unveiled *007 First Light* on June 4, 2025 as a 2026 release for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. (ioi.dk) Nintendo’s own store page for the Switch 2 version now lists the game with a “TBD” release date instead of May 27. (nintendo.com) This is the second schedule change for the game. GameSpot reported that *007 First Light* had already moved from March 27, 2026 to May 27, 2026 for quality reasons before the Switch 2 edition slipped again. (gamespot.com) The split launch leaves Nintendo’s newer console without one of its higher-profile third-party releases on the same day as rival platforms. Nintendo’s U.S. site says Switch 2 is already on sale, so the delay affects a system that is already in the market rather than one still waiting to launch. (nintendo.com) IO Interactive has not given a platform-specific reason for the later Switch 2 date. IGN said the company’s public message only promised “the best game experience possible across all platforms,” without explaining what changed. (ign.com) The game itself is a third-person action-adventure about a 26-year-old James Bond at the start of his MI6 career, not an adaptation of an existing Bond film. IO Interactive said players will control a young Royal Navy air crewman recruited into the revived Double 0 program. (ioi.dk) IO and its partners had originally presented the project as a broad multi-platform release, and the official Bond site still describes it as coming to PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC in 2026. (007.com) For Switch 2 players, the practical change is simple: Bond arrives first on other systems on May 27, and Nintendo’s version follows later in summer 2026. (ign.com)
