Atomic Heart is a riveting first-person role-playing game set in an alternate future where the Soviets have won World War II. The game comes from a relatively unknown developer, Mundfish, and many fans have high hopes for it. Although we know it will be released on February 21, this guide describes the exact release time of the game on all platforms.

It seems pretty clear to us that Atomic Heart launches on Game Pass at midnight in your local time zone. Steam-specific release times don’t seem to apply to all PC users, as Steam is a very different platform to Game Pass. Focus Entertainment has been clear in its distinction between Steam and consoles/Game Pass. From what we can see, the best way to play Atomic Heart earlier is through Steam. Check the PC requirements beforehand to avoid installing the game on the wrong platform. However, if you’re already a Game Pass subscriber, it makes more sense to wait a bit longer and play at no additional cost. The game is available for pre-installation at the time of writing, so you should be able to launch the game from one minute after midnight on February 21st.
