NVIDIA has released 4K gameplay footage of "007 First Light," a third-person action-adventure game exploring the younger years of James Bond [1].
The release highlights the integration of high-end scaling technology in a major licensed franchise. By showcasing these visuals, NVIDIA aims to demonstrate the capabilities of its latest driver updates and the fidelity possible in modern cross-platform titles [1].
Early access for the title began on May 26, 2026 [2]. This launch coincided with the release of a new GeForce Game Ready Driver, which NVIDIA said provides the necessary support for the game's advanced visual features [2].
According to NVIDIA, the game utilizes DLSS 4.5 [1]. This version includes Super Resolution, and Dynamic Multi Frame Generation to enhance image quality and performance on PC [2]. While some reports mentioned different version settings, other sources confirmed the game receives native DLSS 4.5 support [3].
"Players will experience the younger years of James Bond in stunning fidelity courtesy of NVIDIA technology with DLSS 4.5 Dynamic Multi Frame Generation and Super Resolution support," NVIDIA said [1].
The title is developed by IO Interactive and is available across several platforms [1]. These include PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam, and the Nintendo Switch 2 [1].
This technical partnership allows the developer to target high-resolution output while maintaining stable frame rates. The use of DLSS 4.5 specifically targets the PC audience, allowing users with compatible hardware to maximize the visual potential of the Bond universe [1, 3].
