007 First Light is reportedly heading to Switch 2 on 16 September

Players finally got their hands on 007 First Light back on 27 May, and IO Interactive's take on a young James Bond has been one of the year's more confident big-budget releases. Now a leaked retail listing suggests a Nintendo Switch 2 version is arriving on 16 September.

The listing, spotted before it was pulled, shows boxed art and a dated release window. Neither IO Interactive nor Nintendo has commented, so treat the date as unconfirmed until it appears in an official channel.

A Switch 2 port is not a stretch technically — First Light's stealth sandboxes are dense but small, and IO has already shown the engine scaling down for cloud and handheld play. The question is what the performance target is: the other versions run at 60fps in performance mode, and anything below 30 locked would hurt a game built on reactive guard behaviour.

We have asked IO Interactive for comment and will update this story if we hear back.
