Mundfish has released a new patch for Atomic Heart, adding settings to adjust the size of the HUD and subtitles. It’s available now for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
But that’s not all. Current-gen console players can access 120 Hz mode with a supporting display and HDMI 2.1 cable. Issues that prevented Achievements from unlocking should also be fixed. If using a save file from before or when the day one patch launched, the Achievements may take some time to unlock. Check the full notes below for more details.
Other fixes include improved shadow display, updated shaders, updated animations in first-person when using a high field-of-view, cartoons being absent in some save rooms and more. You can also finally loot bodies in the water.
Stay tuned for more updates, especially with story DLC that adds new territories, enemies, and more. In the meantime, check out our review for the base game here.
