Overview

  • IO Interactive published the 'Behind Enemy Lines' free update for 007: First Light, which released Friday, July 24, 2026, and is available on PlayStation, Windows PC and Xbox Series X/S.
  • The patch adds two three-tier TacSim Escalation missions named 'The Workshop' and 'Extraction Avenues' that offer stealth and timed-extraction challenges respectively.
  • Players receive three new TacSim weapons (Stormberg 50'cal pistol, DRX-2 Machine Pistol and DRS-7 Silenced SMG) and the 'Diamond in the Rough' outfit, each unlockable with 3,000 intel at specified clearance levels.
  • IO Interactive says the update fixes and improves more than 200 issues reported by players and testers, addressing problems such as Xbox Series S crashes, animation bugs and translation errors.
  • The patch is notably larger on PlayStation 5 at roughly 24GB compared with under 4GB on PC and Xbox, and IOI frames this drop as the first of several Year One content releases that will include more TacSim missions, New Game Plus, gadgets and a story DLC.
