After a three-month release delay to May 27, 2026, the developers published the system requirements. The image looked as if it was prepared by someone unfamiliar with hardware.
The processor section caused the greatest resonance. IO Interactive stated that an Intel Core i5-9500K is needed for minimum settings. The problem is that such a processor does not exist - Intel released the i5-9600K or i5-9500, but not a combination of the two.
The video card memory raises just as many questions. Recommended requirements: 12 GB VRAM on an NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti, which only has 8 GB. Minimum: 8 GB VRAM on a GTX 1660 with 6 GB.
The community notes a clear negligent attitude. Even ignoring the errors, the parameters remain high: 32 GB of RAM and 16 GB of VRAM for maximum settings. After a series of delays, fans fear that 007 First Light may become the first major technical failure of 2026.
