After a long time with several delays, Atomic Heart will finally be released on February 21st. The preloading of the game has now started on Xbox (it’s included with Game Pass, so get ready if you plan to play it), and thanks to this we’ll know how much SSD storage to have available when it drops .
As expected, it turns out to be a pretty massive chunk, though not a worst case scenario at 78.66 gigabytes, and we can also expect something in the same neighborhood for PC and PlayStation 5. This is pretty common for major AAA games these days, but we have had multiple scenarios where some games are more than double this size.
Dubbed a Soviet version of Bioshock, Atomic Heart looks promising judging by the footage and trailers we’ve seen so far. However, Russian developer Mundfish has lately criticism because it is unwilling to denounce the war against Ukraine and becomes accused of collecting personal data for the Russian regime.
Also, as many have also pointed out, we haven’t seen a second of gameplay from the console versions – PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X – of Atomic Heart, despite the fact that it will be released in less than two weeks. released. Mundfish says that the new generation is rolling in “Solid 60fps, 4K in dungeons en Dynamic resolution, mostly 4K at 60 fps in open world”but some proof would have been nice.
