IO Interactiveは、ジェームズ・ボンドを題材とした新作ゲーム『007 First Light』のセリフを、アメリカ英語からイギリス英語へと変更しました。このアップデートは、ゲームプレイ映像が公開された際のフィードバックを受けて行われたもので、スタジオ側は没入感を高めるための調整であると説明しています。
開発元のIO Interactiveは、9月に『007 First Light』の20分間にわたるゲームプレイ映像を公開しました。その映像の中で、運転手として潜入捜査中のボンドが「parking lot（駐車場）」という表現を使用していました。インディー開発者のジョー・ウィンターグリーン氏は、SNSのBluesky上でこのアメリカ英語表現を指摘し、ジェームズ・ボンドはイギリス英語の用語を使うべきだと述べました。
