007 First Light has sold over 1.5 million copies in its first 24 hours across all platforms, making it the fastest‑selling title in Hitman developer IO Interactive’s history.

  • IO Interactive and Amazon MGM Studios announced the milestone in a press release following the game’s launch earlier this week. “The milestone of 1.5 million units sold in 24 hours reflects overwhelming global enthusiasm for 007 First Light and represents a significant achievement for IO Interactive,” the studio wrote. “With an 88 OpenCritic rating and 87 Metacritic score, 007 First Light has been embraced by both critics and players alike, already establishing itself as one of 2026’s most successful gaming releases.”
  • IOI says this makes the title its fastest‑selling game ever, surpassing the launches of all Hitman games to date.
  • Currently, First Light is available on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5, with the game reaching a peak concurrent player count of 68,477 on Steam alone. However, the title will also be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 in the summer after the studio announced it would be pushed back for further polish.
