IO Interactive has shipped 007 First Light's first major post-launch update, patch 1.1.0, targeting over 200 bugs reported by the community and internal playtesters. The update went live at 09:00 UTC and lands very differently depending on your platform.
The headline number is the PS5 download size: 23.84 GB, dwarfing every other platform — Steam is 3.6 GB, Epic Games Store 3.99 GB, Microsoft PC 2.24 GB, and Xbox Series a lean 1.39 GB. IO hasn't explained the disparity, but oversized PS5 patches aren't unusual when a full repackage of game data is involved. On the bug-fix side, the patch addresses crash fixes across Xbox Series S — including one triggered by the "Time to Die" boss fight and another during the "All the Time in the World" car cinematic — as well as clipping issues and several broken achievement unlocks, including "A Legacy of Spycraft" and "For Your Eyes Only". A crash tied to the Red Room Shotgun in TacSim is also squashed.
Beyond stability, IO added new content rather than shipping a pure bug-fix patch. Two new TacSim Escalation missions arrive — The Workshop, a three-tier stealth mission against seven hostiles, and Extraction Avenues, a three-tier escape scenario. Three new weapons are now unlockable with Intel currency: the Stormberg 50'cal at Clearance Level 10 for 3,000 Intel, the DRX-2 Machine Pistol at Level 12 for 3,000 Intel, and the DRS-7 Silenced SMG at Level 16 for 3,000 Intel. The Diamond in the Rough outfit rounds out the new rewards at Clearance Level 18, also for 3,000 Intel. 007 First Light is IO Interactive's first original Bond game, developed after the studio wrapped the World of Assassination trilogy with Hitman, and this patch signals the team is actively supporting it post-launch rather than moving on.
IO closed the patch notes by confirming more improvements and content updates are already in development. PS5 players clearing nearly 24 GB of storage will at least have two new missions waiting on the other side.
