Amazon listings indicate the IO Interactive-developed 007 First Light has a standard edition priced at $70 and a collector's edition listed at $300. The $300 package description lists a six-pound weight and appears across platforms except Nintendo Switch 2. 007 First Light is scheduled for release in 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, and PC. The game will present an origin story for James Bond. Industry commentary notes a trend toward higher game prices, citing Mario Kart World's $80 price and mixed publisher stances on raising base game costs.
"If you want to spend more on the new James Bond game from the makers of Hitman, you'll apparently be able to. Another Amazon listing reveals a collector's edition that costs $300. There is no word on what may be in the collector's edition to justify the price tag, but the description says the package weighs six pounds. Listings for the $300 edition were discovered for all platforms except Nintendo Switch 2."
"Industry experts believe people are ready and willing to pay $80 or more for new games, and that it's just a matter of time before higher price points for games become normalized. For now, though, many companies are sticking with $70 for new games (and also offering more expensive premium editions and selling lots of DLC and microtransactions at the same time)."
