PS Plus members can now play the first hour of 007 First Light for free
IO Interactive has added a one-hour 007 First Light trial for PS Plus members. The game sold 4 million copies by August and recently got free DLC.
PlayStation Plus subscribers can now try 007 First Light free for one hour. IO Interactive announced the trial on X on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, and Polygon covered it the next day.
What the hour covers
IO Interactive did not say which part of the game the trial includes. Polygon expects it to start at the beginning: the cold-open mission that gets the young Bond noticed, followed by his training for the 00 programme. That training section works as the tutorial, but it plays out inside the story as a fast montage of car chases, fist fights and practice infiltrations, so you learn the systems while Bond earns his place.
How the game is doing
007 First Light launched in May and had sold 4 million copies by August, which makes it one of the year's biggest releases. IO Interactive has kept supporting it with a free update that added a new mission, New Game Plus and time trials.
A sequel looks likely, but who makes it is less clear. IO Interactive self-published First Light after securing the licence before Amazon owned James Bond. Amazon Games boss Jeff Gattis first said future Bond games would be made by MGM and Amazon, then later said it would make sense to keep IO Interactive developing them.
Should you try it
An hour is enough to see the opening set piece and the training sequence, which is where the game makes its first impression. If you already pay for PS Plus, it costs nothing to check whether this take on Bond suits you before buying.
