007 First Light Game Update 1.0.5 Patch Notes (15th June 2026)

Game Update 1.0.5 is back with the fixes IO Interactive had to pull from 1.0.4 after an offline mode connection issue tanked the rollout. This time around, the studio is redeploying those improvements alongside additional stability work informed by player feedback.

The big story here is memory optimization. Out-of-memory crashes have been a recurring headache, especially on Xbox Series S and PlayStation 5, and this patch tackles them across the board with improved memory handling for physics systems and platform-specific allocation tweaks. IO Interactive also fixed the Microsoft PC update size problem, which was bloating downloads compared to other platforms.

On the gameplay side, this is a serious bug-squashing effort. There are fixes for progression blockers in "Against the Odds", "The Past Never Dies", and "Time to Die" that were actually preventing players from finishing missions. Save corruption issues on PS5, the EULA connection loop, and a half-dozen crash scenarios tied to cinematics and checkpoints all get addressed here. Achievement unlock bugs that were blocking completion tracking are fixed too. Check the full notes for the complete rundown.

Dear 007 First Light community,

Following the release of Update 1.0.4, we identified an offline mode connection issue that required us to revert the update. With Game Update 1.0.5, we are now redeploying the fixes and quality of life improvements originally intended for 1.0.4, alongside additional improvements informed by your feedback and ongoing support for 007 First Light.

Please find the full details for Game Update 1.0.5 below — and as always, follow our social channels to stay up to date.
