Can I Run Atomic Heart on My PC / Laptop?

That covers the official minimum, though 16GB is the recommended tier and the number to actually aim for if you want a smooth run. 8GB still plays, it just stutters more as the game streams in new areas.

Yes, this is the recommended amount and it covers every resolution and settings tier in the game, 4K and ray tracing included. There's no reason to go to 32GB for Atomic Heart specifically.

Only the 90GB of free space is an official requirement, an SSD isn't. That said, it cuts load times noticeably and heads off the texture-streaming stutter a hard drive can show, so use one if you've got the option.

About 90GB on PC. Console installs are smaller, roughly 79GB on Xbox Series X/S and around 42GB on PS5, since those builds ship fewer texture options.

It's the official minimum, paired with a GTX 960 or R9 380, and it works if you keep textures on Low. Push toward Medium or High textures and 4GB starts to feel tight.

Yes, for 1080p to 1440p at High settings without ray tracing. Add ray traced reflections or push into 4K and Epic textures, and 8GB can run short, which is when the officially recommended RTX 3080 or RX 6800 XT class card with more VRAM starts to matter.

Yes. Both the minimum and recommended tiers require a DirectX 12 capable graphics card, and there's no DirectX 11 fallback.

No. Focus Entertainment removed Denuvo DRM from the game in August 2026, over three years after launch. You no longer need an internet connection to activate or verify the game, only to download it and any updates.

Only if you have an RTX 3080, RX 6800 XT, or better. It sharpens reflections and ambient occlusion but costs 30 to 40 percent of your frame rate, and the game looks strong without it. Most players are better off leaving it off and keeping the frames.

No. The Standard, Golden, and Trapped in Limbo bundle editions all run on the same engine and the same PC requirements. The editions differ in included DLC and story content, not hardware demands.

It launched in February 2023 with some rough stutter, including reports from players on high-end cards. Years of patches, driver updates, and the August 2026 Denuvo removal have made it noticeably more stable, and today it scales cleanly from a GTX 960 up through an RTX 4090.

The minimum is a Ryzen 3 1200 or Core i5-2500, and recommended is a Ryzen 5 2600X or Core i7-7700K. The game leans more on your GPU than your CPU at 1080p and 1440p, but a weak CPU will show up as stutter in busier open-world areas.

You can play it. The RTX 3050 is at Atomic Heart's minimum, so keep to 1080p low to medium and lower a setting if it stutters.

The GTX 1650 gets you in. It meets Atomic Heart's minimum, so low to medium at 1080p works, and turning a couple of things down keeps it steady. Around 55 to 65 fps at 1080p Medium, with light indoor areas pushing close to 100.

You can play it. The GTX 1060 6GB is at Atomic Heart's minimum, so keep to 1080p low to medium and lower a setting if it stutters. Roughly 45 to 55 fps at 1080p Medium, comfortably above the GTX 960 minimum.

Good enough to play. The RX 580 sits at Atomic Heart's minimum, so expect 1080p low to medium and a bit of tuning for smoothness. About 30 to 40 fps at 1080p Low, the official minimum-class card for this game.

Yes, with room to spare. Atomic Heart recommends less than the RTX 4060 offers, so expect smooth 1080p high and a playable 1440p. Around 120 fps at 1080p Epic, 85 at 1440p, and 50 at 4K.

Yes. On the RTX 3060, Atomic Heart runs at high settings in 1080p and scales up to 1440p without much fuss. About 100 fps at 1080p Epic, 70 at 1440p, and 43 at 4K, all without ray tracing.

The RTX 2060 is a strong fit for Atomic Heart. It lands at or above the recommended spec, so high 1080p is comfortable and 1440p works. About 50 to 60 fps at 1080p High, though Epic settings without DLSS can dip toward 25 to 30.

It clears the bar. The GTX 1660 matches Atomic Heart's minimum, so 1080p on low to medium is realistic once you tune a few settings.

Yes, on modest settings. The GTX 1660 Super meets what Atomic Heart needs at minimum, so 1080p low to medium is the sweet spot.

The RX 6600 gets you in. It meets Atomic Heart's minimum, so low to medium at 1080p works, and turning a couple of things down keeps it steady. Around 55 to 65 fps at 1080p High, with the same drop at Epic settings as the RTX 2060.

It will run. The GTX 1660 Ti meets Atomic Heart's minimum, which means 1080p on low to medium and a smoother result once you lower a couple of options.

Yes, comfortably. The RTX 3060 Ti sits at or above Atomic Heart's recommended card, so 1080p on high is smooth and 1440p is well within reach.

Yes. The RTX 4050 has headroom over Atomic Heart's recommended card, so you can push 1080p high and move to 1440p when you want.

Yes, on modest settings. The GTX 1050 Ti meets what Atomic Heart needs at minimum, so 1080p low to medium is the sweet spot.

You are well set. The RTX 4070 exceeds Atomic Heart's recommended card, so 1080p high is easy and 1440p is realistic.

Mundfish skipped a Mac build entirely, so a MacBook won't run Atomic Heart by itself no matter which M-series chip is inside it. GeForce Now is the cleanest workaround here since the game is already on that service; an unofficial Windows layer works too, just less reliably.

Not comfortably. Chips like Intel Iris Xe or AMD's Radeon 780M sit below the official GTX 960 minimum, so you're looking at 720p on the lowest settings at best, and even then it can be choppy in the open-world sections.

A Chromebook's GPU isn't in the running here, so GeForce Now's cloud streaming is basically the only practical door in.

Yes. It's rated Playable on Steam Deck rather than Verified, mainly because there's no built-in Deck graphics preset and some text is small. Set everything to Low, cap the frame rate at 40, and expect around 40 to 60 fps depending on whether you're indoors or in the open world. The ROG Ally and Legion Go, being a bit stronger, hold a similar or slightly higher range at the same settings.

Yes. Atomic Heart is playable through GeForce Now, which runs the game on remote hardware and streams the video to you, so your own PC only needs a decent internet connection rather than a strong GPU.

For native 4K Epic without ray tracing, you want something around an RTX 4070 or RX 7800 XT to hold 60 fps. Add ray traced reflections and the official ask jumps to an RTX 3080 or RX 6800 XT.

An RTX 3060 or better gets you around 70 fps at 1440p Epic without ray tracing, and an RTX 4060 pushes that closer to 85. Both are well past the official recommended tier.

The officially recommended RTX 2070 or RX 6700 XT clears 60 fps at 1080p High. Weaker cards like a GTX 1060 or RX 580 can get closer to 60 by dropping to Medium or Low and turning on FSR.

At 1080p, an RTX 3060 or similar handles Epic settings at around 100 fps. Push Epic to 1440p or 4K and you want at least an RTX 4060 or RTX 4070, and adding ray tracing on top raises that further to an RTX 3080 class card.

Check four things before assuming the worst: a GPU under the GTX 960 minimum, under 8GB of RAM, a graphics driver that's fallen behind, or the shader cache still compiling right after launch or a patch. Update the driver, close whatever overlays are running in the background, and give the game a minute sitting at the menu after any update before you judge the frame rate.

Steam Play's Proton carries this one to a Playable rating on Steam Deck even though Mundfish never built a native Linux version. There's no handheld graphics preset baked in, so on a Linux desktop you'll want to drop everything to Low and cap the frame rate manually, the same fix used on Deck, which lands around 40 to 60 fps depending on the area. Worth a ProtonDB check for your specific distro first, since results shift with GPU driver.

Yes. Both target a dynamic native-4K resolution at a stable 60 fps, with no separate 30 fps quality mode. Xbox One also has a scaled-back version. This page focuses on the PC release.

Yes to both. PS5 targets the same dynamic 4K at 60 fps as Xbox Series X, while the PS4 version runs at reduced resolution and settings. This page focuses on the PC release.

No. There is no Switch version of Atomic Heart, and none has been announced. It's available on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.

At the minimum of a GTX 960 4GB, a Ryzen 3 1200 and 8GB of RAM, you can play 1080p Low for around 30 fps, and turning on FSR helps push that higher. Below that hardware you'll want to lower the resolution as well as the settings.

A Ryzen 3 1200 is the official minimum CPU, so a similar-tier chip works, though you're relying on your GPU to carry most of the load. A modern i3 clears this comfortably; an older i3 from before 2017 may sit right at the edge.

Yes, well above the minimum. Expect somewhere around 55 to 65 fps at 1080p High, similar to or a bit better than a GTX 1650, since its 8GB of VRAM gives it more headroom on textures.

Yes, close to the officially recommended tier. Expect roughly 60 to 70 fps at 1080p High to Epic, and it can handle 1440p on Medium to High settings too.

Yes, it's the exact officially recommended GPU. Expect a solid 60 fps or more at 1080p High, which is what the recommended tier is built around.

Yes, comfortably above recommended. Around 90 to 100 fps at 1080p Epic and about 60 fps at 1440p Epic, with enough headroom to try ray tracing at 1080p using DLSS.

Yes. It's the officially named GPU for the 4K ray tracing tier, so it should hold close to 60 fps at 4K with ray traced reflections on, especially with DLSS Quality enabled.

Yes, easily. Around 111 fps average at native 4K Epic without ray tracing, and it stays well above 60 fps even with ray traced reflections turned on.

Yes, it's the officially recommended AMD GPU. Expect around 90 fps at 1080p Epic and 65 to 70 fps at 1440p, without ray tracing acceleration.

Yes, above the minimum and roughly in RTX 3060 territory for rasterized performance. Expect somewhere around 90 fps at 1080p Epic without ray tracing.

Yes, well past recommended. Expect roughly 130 fps at 1080p Epic, 90 or more at 1440p, and around 55 to 60 fps at native 4K without ray tracing.

Yes, though this is based on the RTX 5070's general performance gains over the RTX 4070 class rather than an Atomic Heart specific benchmark. Expect strong 1440p and 4K results without ray tracing, and solid headroom left over if you turn ray tracing on with DLSS.
