007 First Light (Steam Account Global)

Read this before you order

The game needs 80 GB free, and there is a mandatory day-one patch on top of the download. Budget for both before you start, because on a connection you pay by the gigabyte the patch is not a rounding error.

Once the game and that patch are installed, you are done with the connection. Read the next section for exactly what that means.

Playing without a steady connection

The campaign plays offline once the patch is in. That is the whole game, because 007 First Light is single player with no multiplayer and no co-op mode.

The only part that needs you online is the TacSim global leaderboards, which compare your times against other players. Lose that and you lose a scoreboard, not content.

There is also no subscription involved. Steam charges nothing to play, so the price on this page is the whole cost. That is worth saying because most of our console listings need PlayStation Plus on top, and this one does not.

What you receive

Login details for a Steam account holding 007 First Light, emailed once payment clears. Usually five minutes, two hours at the worst. Install Steam, sign in, download.

Being clear about the format: this is an account that holds the game, not a key you add to your existing Steam library. You play from this account. Tell us before ordering if that does not suit you.

What the game is

IO Interactive, the studio behind the Hitman games, telling a Bond origin story. You play a young James Bond inside MI6’s training programme, working towards the 00 status he does not have yet.

The gameplay comes from the same lineage as Hitman: stealth, reading a space before you move through it, and action when stealth fails rather than instead of it. If you came expecting a straight shooter, that is not quite what this is.

The full technical requirements are on the game’s Steam store page. Send us your specifications on WhatsApp if you are unsure, and we will give you an honest answer, including when that answer is that it will not run well.

How the account works

Change the password and the sign-in email the first time you log in. That is what puts the account under your sole control, and it takes two minutes.

Steam Guard can then be moved to your own phone or email address.

Message us on WhatsApp if a step gives you trouble. We stay reachable while you set it up.

Paying without a credit card

Steam wants a card or a payment method tied to a bank. Here the payment goes through the mobile wallet you already use, straight from your phone.

We accept MTN MoMo, Orange Money, Airtel Money, Moov Money, Wave, M-Pesa, Telecel Cash, AT Money, Free Money, Vodacom, Tigo and Halotel, depending on where you are. Fourteen countries are covered, and PayPal and card payments work everywhere else. Pick your country at checkout and you only see the wallets that work there, with the price in your local currency.
