If you have been waiting for a reason to jump into GeForce NOW Ultimate, NVIDIA just gave you one. The company is including 007 First Light as a Steam redemption with the purchase or upgrade to a 12-month GeForce NOW Ultimate membership for a limited time. Before you get excited, I want to be clear: this is not a free game for every GeForce NOW subscriber. You need to be on the annual Ultimate plan to qualify.
Here Is What the Offer Actually Includes
Starting May 21, NVIDIA is including 007 First Light as a Steam redemption with the purchase or upgrade to a 12-month GeForce NOW Ultimate membership. NVIDIA lists the offer as valid through Wednesday, June 10, 2026.
007 First Light launches on May 27, 2026. NVIDIA says the game will be ready to play on launch day if you redeem it before then, with no preloads or waiting required.
In the U.S., the 12-month Ultimate membership costs $199.99 paid upfront. The standard edition of the game is listed at $69.99 in the U.S., which brings the effective monthly cost of the subscription down to around $10.83 if you factor in the game’s value.
Not Every GeForce NOW Plan Qualifies
This is the part I want you to pay attention to. NVIDIA’s offer only names the 12-month Ultimate membership. Monthly plans, day passes, and lower tiers are not listed as eligible. If you are already on a monthly plan and want the bonus, you would need to upgrade to or purchase the 12-month Ultimate tier by June 10.
Availability and pricing may also vary by region, so I would recommend checking your local GeForce NOW membership page before buying.
How to Claim the Game Once You Subscribe
The redemption process is straightforward. Here is how it works:
- Purchase or upgrade to a 12-month GeForce NOW Ultimate membership.
- Open the NVIDIA account portal.
- Navigate to the “Available to Redeem” section.
- Sign into your Steam account.
- Complete the redemption to add the game to your Steam library.
Once redeemed, the game sits in your Steam library. It is not locked exclusively to GeForce NOW.
Yes, NVIDIA Says You Keep the Game After Redemption
NVIDIA says the game is for members to keep after redemption. That is straight from NVIDIA’s official blog, and it is one of the strongest parts of this deal.
You Can Play It on Supported Devices That Could Not Run It Locally
One thing I find genuinely useful about this bundle is what it means for lower-end hardware. As a GeForce NOW Ultimate member, you can stream 007 First Light through NVIDIA’s cloud infrastructure powered by RTX 50 Series GPUs in the cloud. NVIDIA promotes up to 5K HDR, DLSS 4 performance, and Cinematic Quality Streaming, all exclusive to Ultimate members.
That means the bundle works on supported devices that could not otherwise handle a demanding new release: older laptops, Chromebooks, Android phones and tablets, and smart TVs. As long as you have a supported device and a fast enough internet connection, you can access a premium cloud-streaming experience without needing a high-end local gaming PC.
007 First Light on GeForce NOW at Launch
007 First Light launches May 27, 2026, on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. IO Interactive says the Nintendo Switch 2 version is coming in summer 2026. Patrick Gibson voices a 26-year-old James Bond, a promising but rebellious Royal Navy air crewman recruited into MI6, before he earns his 00 status. The cast also includes Gemma Chan and Lenny Kravitz. The official title song is written and composed by Lana Del Rey and David Arnold, and performed by Lana Del Rey. If you want the full breakdown of the game’s story, gameplay, editions, and platforms, we have a complete 007 First Light guide covering everything confirmed ahead of launch.
If you are considering a pre-order, pre-orders include a free Deluxe Edition upgrade, with 24-hour early access limited to digital editions only.
Do Not Confuse This With the RTX 50 Series Bundle
I want to flag this because I have seen people mix the two up. NVIDIA also has a separate hardware bundle running alongside this promotion. Qualifying purchases of select RTX 50 Series GPUs and laptops, including the RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti, 5070, and 5060 Ti, include 007 First Light through a different redemption process. The two offers have different eligibility requirements and terms. They are not the same deal.
Is It Worth It?
Honestly, it depends on how you use cloud gaming. If you were already planning to subscribe to GeForce NOW Ultimate for a year, this is a strong offer. At $199.99 for the year with a $69.99 game included, you are effectively paying around $10.83 a month.
If you were not planning to subscribe at that tier, buying the annual plan purely for the game bonus means paying $130 more than the game’s standalone price. In that case, I would say just buy the game. The deal makes sense when the subscription itself is useful to you, not just the bonus.
