IO Interactive CEO Hakan Abrak reveals that 007 First Light has almost reached three million copies sold, surpassing expectations and costs below the reported $200 million budget.
During a recent event in LA, Abrak announced that the game has sold 2.7 million copies in less than two weeks, with indications that it has likely exceeded three million units. He clarified that the total cost of the game is less than the previously stated $200 million, as it includes various expenses beyond development.
Abrak expressed optimism about the game's success, mentioning ongoing discussions with Amazon regarding future collaborations beyond the initial year of content for 007 First Light. The studio plans to release a significant amount of free content in the game's first year, with potential support extending into the second year.
IO Interactive is engaged in continuous dialogues with Amazon to solidify future plans, focusing on expanding the game's offerings and maintaining player engagement over an extended period.
