Description:
Atomic Hearts performance modes on PS5 and Xbox Series X have been detailed
by developer Mundfish.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

With Atomic Hearts release just a month away, developer Mundfish has detailed the games performance features. For the current-gen consoles to handle sci-fi shooters intense action, the team has set up different modes that keep the framerate high.

Ive had my eyes on Atomic Heart for a long time, considering it to be one of the best-looking upcoming games for several years. Developer Mundfish has recently confirmed via Twitter that you can expect the Russian answer to Fallout to run at a solid 60fps, 4K in dungeons but a dynamic resolution, mostly 4K at 60fps in the open world on Xbox Series X and PS5 . No details have been shared regarding previous-generation or PC performance yet. Solid 60fps, 4K in dungeons , and Dynamic resolution, mostly 4K at 60 fps in open world. Next gen of course January 16, 2023 See more

Its encouraging to hear that Atomic Heart will keep to a solid 60fps at 4K when in dungeons or smaller areas on Xbox Series X . Though Im less happy
with the way Mundfish is handling open-world performance. A dynamic
resolution of mostly 4K at 60fps indicates that we could see anywhere from Full HD (1080p) to QHD (1440p) scaling depending on the on-screen action.

It doesnt inspire too much confidence that the game will run at a solid 60
fps when in open-world environments, which seem to make up most of Atomic Hearts exploration. From what weve seen from preview footage, it looks like the title takes many design cues from the Fallout and BioShock game series with how indoor and outdoor missions are structured.

Originally announced in 2017, Atomic Heart has been in development for years, catching my eye when it was used to showcase Nvidias RTX ray tracing technology. Though, as we get close to launch, we still dont know the full extent of ray-tracing in the game, or if it will be activated on PS5 and Xbox Series X.

We still dont know whether the performance figures Mundfish quotes include ray-traced shadows, ray-traced reflections, or global illumination. Given
that visually demanding games, such as the upcoming Dead Space remake will
run at 30fps with these settings enabled, we could see the projected
framerate halved for Atomic Heart, too. Best RPGs: top role-playing games for PS5, Xbox Series X, PC and Switch
