“007: First Light Updates System Requirements with IOI’s Apology”
The upcoming James Bond game, 007: First Light, has updated its PC system requirements following an internal miscommunication at IO Interactive. The developers acknowledged the errors in the previously announced specifications and expressed their gratitude to the community for their feedback.
Updated System Requirements for 007: First Light
One of the significant changes includes a reduction in the required RAM. Initially set at 32GB, the recommended memory has now been adjusted to 16GB. This is particularly beneficial for gamers who have been hesitant to upgrade due to high memory prices.
Changes in CPU and Graphics Specifications
IO Interactive also clarified the minimum CPU requirement. The previous listing of the Core i5-9500K, a fictional model, has been corrected to the real Core i5-9500. Furthermore, the VRAM requirements have been lowered across the board, providing a more manageable entry point for players.
Graphics Card Recommendations
- Recommended GPU: 8GB RTX 3060 Ti
- Adjusted VRAM needs for smoother performance
The developers admitted a prior discrepancy that noted a 12GB graphics card requirement alongside the RTX 3060 Ti as the recommended GPU. They acknowledge the ongoing debate regarding VRAM and gaming performance, along with a humorous take on their own previous errors.
Release Date and Future Updates
007: First Light is set for release on May 27th. IO Interactive has promised further updates on performance targets and system requirements as the launch date approaches. Players can anticipate additional insights regarding running the game at resolutions exceeding 1080p.
