You may want to know about the Atomic Heart release time, so you know exactly when you can begin playing this soviet-themed action RPG. Atomic Heart has almost looked too good to be true since its initial announcement, but players will soon be able to make up their own minds as we approach launch day.

The game sees you exploring a soviet research facility staffed by worker robots who have all been hacked and turned against the human population, forcing you to scavenge supplies, load up on weapons, and find a way to fix the mess. If this sounds like the gaming experience you're currently craving, then check out the Atomic Heart release time.

Atomic Heart Release Time

Atomic Heart's release time will differ slightly between console and PC, but only by half a day at most, meaning you won't have to wait too long from when you're reading this to play.

For PC users on the Steam platform, Atomic Heart is set to release on February 20 at 11 pm GMT (3pm PST/6pm EST/ midnight CEST) giving players early access to the game. The rest of the regional launch times can be seen in the embedded tweet above.

It's worth noting that there is no preload for Steam, meaning you will have to begin the whopping 70 GB install at the above times too.

For console users and Xbox Game Pass subscribers, the launch is slightly delayed. Atomic Heart will be launching on February 21 at midnight across all the available regions, however, preload is available for these platforms, so you can finish up the installation and jump right in once it's out.

For Microsoft Store users and PC Game Pass users, the release time is the same as console, but again, you do have the advantage of preloading first.

That's all for our reminder of the Atomic Heart release time, and now you know the separate launch times for PC and console, along with whether you can preload it or not.

You may also wonder, does Atomic Heart have a 6 hour cutscene? Check out some of the wild rumours that are circulating about the game.
