IO Interactive has changed dialogue in its James Bond game 007 First Light from American to British English. The update followed feedback on a gameplay trailer. The studio made the adjustment to improve immersion.

Developer IO Interactive released a 20-minute gameplay trailer for 007 First Light in September. In the footage, the character Bond used the phrase 'parking lot' while working undercover as a chauffeur. Indie developer Joe Wintergreen highlighted the Americanism on Bluesky, noting that James Bond should use British English terms.
