Developers Mundfish have certainly set lofty goals for Atomic Heart, but what does this ambition mean for those looking to run the game on their PC. Here are the minimum and recommended PC specs for Atomic Heart.

Atomic Heart has caught the eye of many players since it was revealed back in 2018, and it’s already established itself as one of the most-anticipated games of the year so far.

Despite being the debut game from Mundfish, Atomic Heart is an ambitious FPS set in a gorgeous, twisted, open world that should keep you occupied for hours on end. But PC owners desperate to experience the sci-fi tale will be wondering if their rig can handle the strain.

With this in mind, we’ve put together all the Atomic Heart PC requirements you need to know about.
