IO Interactive is giving Agent 47 a short rest, and all eyes are now on Mr. Bond as the Hitman studio launches 007 First Light<\/a> less than 24 hours from now. PC Gamer doesn’t have a review ready in time for publication today, so I can’t reference my colleague’s impressions on a final build just yet, but I know Mr. Wolens is ready for the job<\/a> when the call arrives. <\/p>\n

Until then some of you can start playing now, or have less than a day’s wait ahead before the 007 First Light global release date.<\/p>\n

Is there preloading for 007 First Light?<\/h2>\n

You can download 007 First Light now, but it’s technically no longer a pre-load since you can already play in early access. <\/strong>If you’ve got it pre-ordered and can’t play until tomorrow, then just treat it as a pre-load and get a head start on your 80 GB download. <\/p>\n

Make sure you’ve also taken a peek at the updated 007 First Light PC specs<\/a> after a miscommunication error earlier this year suggested the wrong GPU requirements. <\/p>\n
