Atomic Heart turned out to be the most popular game among Russian Internet pirates.
This was reported in a study by the online school in the field of game development XYZ School (part of the Ultimate Education holding), which was reviewed by the editors of Lenta.ru.
The authors of the study found that Atomic Heart has become popular among Russian gamers and pirates. Moreover, after the release of the title, one of the popular torrent trackers did not have the ability to directly download the game – the site redirected players to the publisher’s website, VK Play.
In second place was the open-world game Hogwarts Legacy, created in the Harry Potter universe, in third place was Baldur’s Gate 3. The top five also included a remake of Resident Evil 4 and Starfield.
The top 10 most popular titles among pirates from Russia also included Lies of P, Alan Wake 2, Dead Island 2, an add-on for Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty and Lords of the Fallen.
