IO Interactive Sets 007: First Light PC Specs, Confirms DLSS 4 Support

The studio outlined 1080p-focused PC targets with DLSS 4 support, leaving unresolved questions around 4K requirements plus VRAM.

Overview

  • Minimum requirements target 1080p at 30 FPS with an Intel Core i5-9500K or Ryzen 5 3500, GTX 1660 or RX 5700 class GPU, 16 GB RAM, 8 GB VRAM, and 80 GB of storage.
  • Recommended requirements target 1080p at 60 FPS with an Intel Core i5-13500 or Ryzen 5 7600, RTX 3060 Ti or RX 6700 XT, 32 GB RAM, and 12 GB VRAM.
  • Outlets note a mismatch between the listed 12 GB VRAM recommendation and the cited RTX 3060 Ti, which commonly features 8 GB.
  • IO Interactive confirmed deep integration with NVIDIA technologies including DLSS 4 and Multi-Frame Generation, alongside Glacier engine upgrades such as new volumetric smoke, redesigned animation and AI, and improved shooting and cover systems.
  • Higher-resolution PC specifications have not been published, the install size is listed as 80 GB without an SSD requirement, and the game remains slated for May 27, 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2.
