James Bond is celebrated for his sophisticated gadgets and exceptional driving abilities, and the latest Xbox Partner Preview trailer for 007 First Light demonstrates how players will utilize both to complete their missions.
Provided by Microsoft, this new video from IO Interactive highlights a feature that long-time Bond enthusiasts have been eager to see: the vehicles. We previously saw this iteration of the iconic British spy, portrayed by Patrick Gibson (known for Dexter: Original Sin), speeding through various levels, with today’s footage confirming that an Aston Martin will be among his available rides.
The Aston Martin Valhalla features prominently in the 007 First Light Xbox Partner Preview trailer, and as speculation suggests, it is far more than a standard sports car. Bond’s customized model includes integrated weaponry designed specifically for agent 007, guaranteeing high-octane car chases that deliver the action fans expect from the 007 franchise.
IO Interactive will make its mark on James Bond lore when 007 First Light launches on PC, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S on March 27, 2026. Earlier details about this video game spinoff have revealed a Hitman-inspired approach to the spy-thriller narrative, aiming to provide players with Bond’s charismatic charm as well as his license to kill. Alongside Gibson, audiences can expect performances from notable actors such as Gemma Chan (Eternals, Crazy Rich Asians) and Lennie James (The Walking Dead).
