The graphical resolution of Atomic Heart will be changed on the fly to ensure it always runs at 60 frames-per-second, developer Mundfish has revealed. Responding to a fan on Twitter, the team says that inside "dungeons", the game will run at 4K, 60fps. When you leave those closed environments for the open world, though, the resolution changes to be more dynamic, meaning it can't always guarantee a native 4K output. This feature only applies to the PS5 version.
Due for a PS5, PS4 release on 21st February 2023, a variety of trailers have painted Atomic Heart as a bombastic game with lots of guns and powers. Whether it actually turns out to be any good remains to be seen, but there are now only a handful of weeks left until it's out. Are you interested? Let us know in the comments below.

Dynamic resolution is surely in most AAA games these days isn’t it?
im looks forward to atomic heart
I’ll be trying this on Game Pass (Series X) for sure. If I fall in love with it however, I’ll most likely buy the physical on PS5. Indeed, PS5 is my first console since PS3 where I’ve gone all physical. Where possible of course. All my other games on PS4, Switch and Xbox are digital.
Great! Now PSVR 2 support please!
Reading the headline I assumed this meant they were significantly downgrading the visuals to hit performance targets. But this is just standard Dynamic Resolution Scaling as @thefourfoldroot1 rightly said that's standard at this point.
That all said it's never going to look like it did in the trailers on Console, expect a noticeable downgrade from the Nvidia 4000 series circa £1,500 - £2,000 GPU trailers.
Have this pre loading on my series x ,game pass is a wonderful thang hot dang!
Part of me wants to be excited for this, but some parts of the trailer concern me. I would rather have combat in dynamic environments where you have to think about what's around you, rather than massive, flat, and wide open spaces as seen in some parts of the trailers (presumably inside dungeons). Gave me a Serious Sam vibe which is ok, but not exciting for me personally.
This game is going to be in-sane whether it's any use though we'll find out.
Anything to keep me busy while I impatiently await Bioshock 4
I already have it pre loaded on my Series X thru Game Pass. If it turns out to be good, I'll buy a physical copy for PS5 after a price drop. I'm glad to hear it has a 60fps mode!
I'm really looking forward to this game but no more pre-orders until I see reviews.
If it's good than I'll buy it launch week.
Really hoping the gameplay matches the art design in terms of quality, as it looks straight bonkers in the best possible way. Fingers and toes crossed for this one!
It’s going to be fun to see how this one plays out. I really hope it’s as good as it looks, but if not the discourse is going to be wild.
@The_Pixel_King Same but for cross-gen games I prefer to have them on digital as you can have access to both versions, for PS5-only games all physical is the way.
Removed - trolling/baiting
@Trousersnake the studio has said they are open to it on Twitter but want to release flat version before pursuing. This was intially going to get a PSVR1 version but the tech was too dated so it was dropped...it would look fantastic in VR, im holding off playing till they confirm.
Most likely will be my second buy this year after hogwarts. However if the reviews are soso then I'll go with Wo long or vice-versa.
I’m very much looking forward to this but I refuse to pre-order it. Tired of even occasionally getting burned by doing that. I’m looking at you Callisto Protocol and Battlefield games!
I hear a lot about the surrounding details of this game but not so much about the game itself. It shows all the signs of a game that releases to vaguely mediocre reception and ends up only really being a big thing with a relatively small cult following. I might be wrong but I don't think I am.
I think the game will be a single graphic blender. The movements look sluggish and choppy.
I will hopefully be deep in Hogwarts when this releases if the reviews match up to the hype it'll be my next buy on release week... Gotta say that the Bioshock vibe on the trailer makes it look pretty sick tho... Time will tell!! ⌚
Dynamic resolution is fine. No info for Xbox Series S then...?
