IO Interactive

This week has been one of the most emotional moments in IOI’s history. Across all five of our studios, we’ve shared excitement, relief, gratitude, and many unforgettable moments together. From launch countdowns to tears of joy when players around the world finally stepped into 007 First Light, this week has meant more to us than words can fully express after years of pouring our hearts into this game. To everyone who has played the game, shared your reactions, supported us, or simply been part of this journey, thank you. The reception this week has been deeply moving for every developer who helped bring this game to life. As the weekend begins, our team is finally taking a moment to breathe, reflect, and enjoy something we’ve been waiting years for: sitting down at home with family and friends to simply play the game together. The following weeks we’ll be pulling back the curtain, sharing how magical this week has been for us, with moments from inside our studios and the people behind 007 First Light. Stay tuned! #WeAreIOI #007FirstLight
