Summary

  • Patch 1.1.0 marks 007 First Light’s first major post-launch update, bundling fixes for more than 200 issues alongside two new three-tier TacSim Escalations: The Workshop and Extraction Avenues.
  • The update targets crashes, progression blockers and achievement bugs reported by players and internal testers, including Xbox Series S crash fixes, offline-mode access problems on Epic Games Store, and unresponsive TacSim menus.
  • New rewards expand TacSim progression with three weapons and one outfit, each unlocked at clearance levels 10 to 18 and priced at 3,000 Intel.
  • Download sizes vary sharply by platform, from 1.39GB on Xbox Series to 23.84GB on PS5; IO Interactive said more improvements and content updates are already in development.
  • The patch lands after a strong launch for the Bond game, which sold 2.7 million copies in a week, even as IO Interactive faces layoffs tied to Xbox ending a publishing deal for Project Fantasy.
