007 First Light hits 2.2 million copies sold and roughly $150m in revenue after one week

007 First Light has sold 2.2 million copies across all platforms in its first week on sale, pulling in an estimated $150 million in revenue. Those figures come from analyst Rhyss Elliot at Alinea Analytics, published in the wake of Sony's State of Play livestream in early June.

Elliot says the game moved one million copies on PS5 alone during May, making it the month's best-selling PS5 title by units. More than 80 percent of those PlayStation sales were digital, which tracks with where the platform's digital share has settled for new releases this year. The platform breakdown across all versions sits at 55.1 percent PS5, 33.1 percent Steam, and 11.8 percent Xbox — covering console, Windows, and cloud combined. On the revenue side, PlayStation accounts for 60.5 percent, Steam for 27.6 percent, and Xbox for 12.9 percent. Elliot notes the consoles punch above their weight in revenue versus unit share because of regional pricing differences and audience composition. Geographically, over two thirds of players are in North America or Western Europe — but on Steam that drops below half, with China accounting for roughly 17.3 percent of the PC player base.

The estimates line up with what IO Interactive officially confirmed: 007 First Light crossed 1.5 million sales within 24 hours of launch. That means the game added roughly another 700,000 buyers over the following days. IO Interactive has already outlined plans for continued post-launch updates and DLC, which should keep the player count ticking along.

The studio is also working on a new project that won't be a Bond or Hitman game — details are still under wraps, but IO Interactive is clearly looking to expand beyond its established franchises.
