Atomic Heart is the second-biggest game release in February, behind Hogwarts Legacy, and it might just be the surprise hit of 2023. It’s a first-person shooter that takes place in an alternate version of the Soviet Union in 1955 where robots have taken over a major area of the country. Bioshock fans will likely see many traces of that popular series in Atomic Heart, as there are distorted enemies, locations, and magical abilities around every turn. With the game releasing on Feb. 21, the developers at Mundfish have recently released the best PC settings needed to run Atomic Heart.

Recently, open world games on PC have had a hard time running well. Titles like Forspoken and even Hogwarts Legacy have brought players’ PCs to their knees. Of course, there is some blame that falls on the developers’ shoulders, as those games have proven to not be optimized the best. However, players are hoping that Atomic Heart reverses that trend since it appears that the game won’t require top-of-the-line hardware to play.

Below, you can see the minimum, recommended, and ultra PC requirements for Atomic Heart.
