Key Points:
- 007 First Light launches this week on PC and consoles, but pre-loading is only available on PlayStation 5, with Steam and Xbox users unable to download the game before the official release time.
- IO Interactive has not provided an official reason for the lack of pre-load on Steam and Xbox, though piracy concerns may have influenced the decision.
- Many players who pre-ordered the game, which is approximately 80 GB, expressed frustration over the inability to pre-load, feeling undervalued and disappointed by the delayed access despite early purchase incentives.
- The game aims to deliver a smooth technical experience, targeting 60 FPS on most platforms except Xbox Series S, which faces limitations due to hardware constraints.
