  • Status: Confirmed
  • Last Verified: May 26, 2026

Microsoft has had some major titles as day-one releases this month, such as Forza Horizon 6 and Subnautica 2.

This has led many to wonder if 007 First Light will be added to the Game Pass roster. With a Game Pass subscription only costing $22.99 and 007 First Light retailing for $69.99, it's a fair question to ask.

So, will it be added to Game Pass? Let's discuss.

The chances of 007 First Light joining the XboxGame Pass roster seems slim. It seems IO Interactive has closely worked with PlayStation to promote 007 First Light's release, hosting a deep-dive gameplay reveal on their platform and even launching the limited edition 007 First Light DualSensse Wireless Controller.

Additionally, PlayStation announced that PS5 Pro players will experience the game with upgraded PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) by default. While unconfirmed, this signals that Sony has marketing ties with PlayStation, so a Game Pass release is unlikely.

It should also be noted that IO Interactive's Hitman trilogy was on Game Pass, but was taken down in January 2024. This could mean that 007 First Light won't be added to the subscription service.

So, don't get your hopes up. It looks like you'll need to purchase the game to play it.
