Mundfish have launched a new Atomic Heart update for PC and consoles. This latest patch is now available to download on all platforms including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Headline features include the option to play at 120 FPS on newer consoles (PS5 and Xbox Series X|S), as well as fixes for trophies and achievements that are glitched.
Atomic Heart launched in February 2023 and is developed by Mundfish. The game takes place in an alternate universe Soviet Union, where players take on the role of a KGB agent sent to investigate a facility that has gone silent. The game features a mix of traditional FPS gameplay, melee combat, and RPG elements, and is set in a world full of strange and otherworldly creatures.
