Atomic Heart is an upcoming open world role-playing game that sees you take on a character in the Soviet Union in the year 1955. However, things aren’t what they seem, as this alternate Soviet Union has robots that have taken control of everything after a series of experiments went wrong. Technology is at the forefront of this game, both in the enemy types you’ll see as well as the weaponry and abilities you have access to.

Atomic Heart arrives on the current and last-generation consoles along with PC on Feb. 21. However, before PC players can consider buying Atomic Heart, they will need to know the necessary PC requirements to run the game.

Unlike other AAA titles that were recently released, such as Forspoken, Atomic Heart doesn’t require modern hardware to run well. The minimum specifications for the game are quite generous and the recommended specs follow that trend, too. Below, you can see both the minimum and recommended specs for Atomic Heart on PC, according to the game’s Steam page.

Minimum Requirements

  • Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
  • OS: Windows 10 (20H1 version or newer, 64-bit versions)
  • Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 1600@ 3. GHz or Intel Core i5-4460 @ 3.1 GHz (AVX, AVX2 and SSE 4.2 support required)
  • Memory: 8 GB RAM
  • Graphics: AMD Radeon R9 380 (4 GB) or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 (4 GB)
  • DirectX: Version 12
  • Storage: 90 GB available space

Recommended Requirements

  • Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
  • OS: Windows 10 (20H1 version or newer, 64-bit versions)
  • Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X @ 3.8 GHz or Intel Core i7-7700 @ 3.6 GHz (AVX, AVX2 and SSE 4.2 support required)
  • Memory: 16 GB RAM
  • Graphics: AMD RX Vega 64 (8 GB) or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 (8 GB)
  • DirectX: Version 12
  • Storage: 90 GB available space
The minimum requirements are what players need if they’re looking to run Atomic Heart at 720p on medium settings or 1080p on the lowest possible settings (at 30 FPS). If you have the recommended requirements, then you can run the game at a crisp 1080p, 60 FPS. Anything beyond the recommended specs, and you’re looking at a higher possible resolution or frames per second.
