One-Hour Trial Makes 007 First Light Free Download Officially Available to Millions of PS5 Premium Subscribers
A limited Bond trial
The free trial is available through the Premium Game Trials collection in the PlayStation Plus section of the PS5. Players can select 007 First Light there to start the download.
The trial lasts one hour and is limited to PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers. Players with Essential or Extra memberships are not eligible.
Progress carries over
PlayStation Plus Game Trials provide access to the actual game for a set period, rather than a separate demo. Only time spent playing counts toward the limit. Any progress made during the trial, including earned trophies, carries over if players purchase the full game. The hour may allow players to experience the opening mission and reach the title sequence, which features an original song by Lana Del Rey.
An origin story for Bond
Developed by IO Interactive, 007 First Light follows a younger James Bond, played by Patrick Gibson, during his early days with MI6. The story features espionage, dangerous missions and globetrotting action.
The game received an 87 Metascore on Metacritic. Screen Rant reviewer Kyle Gratton gave it a 9/10, praising its fresh take on Bond and its gameplay.
More Bond content ahead
The article also says 007: First Light is getting DLC connected to the James Bond film GoldenEye. It does not provide further details about that content. For fans awaiting another James Bond movie, the trial offers a limited way to explore the franchise’s latest game.
