The latest update for Atomic Heart has added a feature that those on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S platforms have been requesting since launch. Since arriving back in February, Mundfish’s shooter Atomic Heart has been met with a mixed response from most who have tried out the new game for themselves. And while Atomic Heart hasn’t lit the world on fire by any means, today’s new patch should improve it considerably.

As of this moment, a massive new update for Atomic Heart has gone live that most notably brings 120hz support to PS5 and Xbox Series X. Essentially, this will allow for the performance on current-gen platforms to be better than ever before as long as players have a monitor that supports this feature. Beyond adding 120hz to Atomic Heart, Mundfish has also rectified a number of lingering bugs and other errors that have been found in the game. It remains to be seen if this update ends up bringing in a vast amount of new players, but it’s good to see that Atomic Heart is continuing to rectify some of its early troubles.
