Reception (as of late May 2026)

• Strong critical acclaim with Metacritic scores around 87-88.
• Praised as one of the best Bond games in years (often compared favorably to GoldenEye in spirit).
• Players and reviewers highlight the 16-18 hour campaign, globe-trotting missions, stealth/espionage gameplay, and production values (including a Lana Del Rey title song).
• It sold 1.5 million copies in the first 24 hours, making it IO Interactive’s fastest-selling game ever.

PS5 Performance

• Runs at a solid 60 FPS on both base PS5 and PS5 Pro.
• PS5 Pro offers noticeably better image quality, resolution, and visuals (described as “night and day” in some comparisons).
• Looks especially impressive in action/chase sequences that feel like Hollywood movies.
