IO Interactive, the team behind the well received 007 First Light, has revealed that the action-packed James Bond game has now sold over 3 million copies worldwide. The company says that sales have exceeded previous expectations and its currently tracking “well above our forecasts at this point.” The game is scheduled to arrive on the Nintendo Switch 2 later this summer as they want to release a version which does the system justice. IO CEO Hakan Abrak says he’s “feeling absolutely amazing.”
“By all measures it’s freaking successful,” Abrak said, confirming 007 First Light is beating the company’s internal expectations. “It’s just going and it’s fantastic,” he added.
Made it’s money more to come then
Hopefully a much larger sequel with multiplayer comes out in the next few years then.
I really miss James Bond multiplayer. Something Nightfire-esque.
Judging off calculations, seeing that the budget was 100$ million dollars, and it sold 3 million units at 70$, it has made 210 million dollars. That’s pretty good for a game that launched a week ago in a dormant IP. I am missing factors in it like marketing and the cost to ship copies to stores, but this game seems to have sold pretty darn well!
Not only that but it’s not even peak video game purchasing season AND it wasn’t released on the switch 2 yet. If the port is solid, I feel like it could sell another million with ease. The switch 2 have far less options to choose from so it should stick out
Heard this game is 90% movie and 10% gameplay. I mean it’s more gameplay than Mixtape aka movie disguised as a game made by nepo “indies” that got their money from their billionaire parents.
then you heard wrong, you need lots of cutscenes in games like this but it’s still way more gameplay vs cutscenes.
