IO Interactive’s 007 First Light launched on May 27, 2026 with DLSS and FSR support—but a critical design choice is frustrating PC gamers.
The game uses FSR version 3.1.5, not the newer FSR 4 or FSR 4.1. Unlike AMD’s recommended implementation, this version is hardcoded directly into the game’s source code, preventing the AMD Adrenaline app from enabling an in-driver upgrade to FSR 4.
Users have reported poor image stability, lack of fine detail, blurry particle effects, and other artifacts—issues consistent with an older FSR implementation. The game also lacks XeSS upscaling or frame generation support for Intel users.
"FSR 3.1.5 is integrated directly into the game's source code, rather than as separate DLL files as recommended by AMD."
ComputerBase reports that IO Interactive hardcoded FSR 3.1.5 into the game code, blocking DLL-based upgrades. AMD has stated that FSR 3 versions 3.1.4 and above can be upgraded to FSR 4 via the driver—but only if the developer uses AMD’s official method with separate DLLs.
A possible future update—including a path tracing mode expected later in the year—may also deliver an improved FSR implementation.
