Atomic Heart will Reportedly Have “Mind-Blowing Optimization” For Last-Gen Consoles

In a recent Wccftech interview, developer Mundfish and game director Robert Bagratuni stated that their upcoming action FPS Atomic Heart will have “mind-blowing optimization” on last-gen consoles, and that the team “literally ripped up the engine” in order to “use all possible CPU cores on all platforms to the fullest.” Atomic Heart will launch on February 21, 2023, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. It will also be available on Xbox Game Pass.The full snippet from Bagratuni via the interview can be seen below:“Absolutely, we have made a mind-blowing optimization and literally ripped up the engine with a can opener to make it possible for the game to use all possible CPU cores on all platforms, to the fullest. We’ve moved a lot of critical code to async threads. The code traditionally runs only on the game thread in Unreal Engine. It was a challenge and not an easy thing. But it was worth it. I’m not hinting at anything, but we were even able to run the game on a device with 3 cores.”

The game’s details via the publisher can be seen below:
