Local multiplayer facts
| Couch co-op campaign | No official listing checked on June 3, 2026 shows local co-op campaign support. |

| GoldenEye-style local multiplayer | Not listed. |
| Best Couch Pals workaround | Use Hard-game Hotseat for campaign turns or Score Attack for TacSim score attempts. |
007 First Light does not list a couch co-op campaign. It also does not list a four-player split-screen deathmatch mode in the style of GoldenEye 007 on Nintendo 64.
You can still make it work as a same-room night: use a timed hotseat for the story campaign, then use Score Attack for TacSim's scored replay challenges. Couch Pals is this site's simple toolset for turns, timers, scores, objectives, penalties, and winners.
Can you play the campaign in couch co-op?
No. The campaign is listed as a single-player experience. PlayStation lists 1 player and 1 online player, and the Xbox Store capabilities list Single player rather than local co-op, local multiplayer, or split-screen.
For one TV, treat the campaign as a shared hotseat run: each player takes one mission segment, one failed objective, one checkpoint, or a fixed timer before passing the controller.
What modes are actually listed?
The verified mode picture is simple: 007 First Light is single-player only, with a story campaign and Tactical Simulation, also called TacSim.
IO Interactive describes TacSim as a replay-focused mode with scored missions, modifiers, progression unlocks, and global and friends leaderboards. That makes TacSim the closest multiplayer-adjacent mode for a same-room score challenge, while the campaign is better for timed controller passing.
Is there GoldenEye N64-style multiplayer?
No official source checked lists a local arena mode, four-player split-screen, deathmatch, golden gun mode, or any equivalent to GoldenEye 007's classic N64 multiplayer.
007 First Light is a third-person action-adventure game about Bond's origin story. The same-room fun has to come from controller passing, score comparison, stealth challenges, and replay rules rather than a native local PvP mode.
Recommended setups to try
Hard-game hotseat
Best for The main story campaign, where one player controls Bond and everyone else is watching the same screen. How it works Pass the controller after 10-30 minutes, a death, a failed objective, or a clean checkpoint break. Fewest deaths, most progress, or cleanest completed segment wins. Let's Play!Score attack
Best for Tactical Simulation, the replay-focused mode with scored missions, modifiers, unlocks, and leaderboards. How it works Everyone gets the same number of attempts on the same TacSim mission and modifier set. Highest Agent Score wins, with fastest clear or cleanest stealth run as the tiebreaker.
