James Bond is known for his slick gadgets and driving skills, and today’s Xbox Partner Preview trailer shows how 007 First Light will let players use both to get the job done.
The latest video from IO Interactive arrives courtesy of Microsoft and puts a spotlight on something many long-time Bond fans have been curious about: the cars. We’ve seen this new video game version of the iconic British secret agent, played by Dexter: Original Sin star Patrick Gibson, racing through missions before, with today’s footage confirming that at least one vehicle at his disposal will be an Aston Martin.
The Aston Martin Valhalla takes center stage in the 007 First Light Xbox Partner Preview trailer, and as some have already guessed, it’s not just any old sports car. James Bond’s version of the vehicle comes with gun modifications built just for 00s, promising car chases with the kind of punch fans have come to expect from the 007 franchise.
IOI will leave its mark on James Bond history when 007 First Light comes to PC, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S March 27, 2026. Previous information about the video game spinoff has revealed a Hitman-inspired take on the spy-thriller saga that aims to give players everything from Bond’s silver tongue to his license to kill. In addition to Gibson, players can expect stars like Gemma Chan (Eternals, Crazy Rich Asians) and Lennie James (The Walking Dead) to make appearances, too.
