Atomic Heart has surpassed 5 million players in just 3 weeks

One of the most notable games to have been released so far this year is Atomic Heart. Developed by Mundfish, the single-player first-person shooter drew much attention thanks to its alternate-history setting and Bioshock inspired aesthetics. Just 3 weeks after its launch, the game has already surpassed 5 million total players.

Making the announcement on Twitter Robert Begratuni, the CEO and founder of Mundfish, said “We are thrilled with the overwhelming response to our first game. Our team has worked hard since 2017 to create a project that delivers the ultimate gaming experience, and we are delighted to see that Atomic Heart has resonated with gamers worldwide!” revealing that the game has seen more than 5 million players since its launch on the 21st of February.

Begratuni then spoke on the game’s future, stating: “Now work is underway to improve the overall gaming experience, as well as the active development of DLCs to the game, in the process of which various opinions of the players are taken into account in order to make expansions as exciting as possible and surprise the players.”

Of course, 5 million players does not equate to 5 million copies sold, especially as the game launched day-one on Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass subscription service (which on its own has over 25 million subscribers). Still, the game’s success is notable, especially with the title having been in development since 2017, meaning that the time and effort put into the game did not go to waste. It will be interesting to see what Mundfish has planned for the DLC.
