Atomic Heart is a fascinating first person RPG set in an alternate future where the Soviets won World War II. The game comes from a relatively unknown developer, Mundfish, and many fans have high hopes for it. While we know it launches on February 21, this guide outlines the exact release time for the game across all platforms.

It seems pretty clear cut that Atomic Heart launches on Game Pass at midnight in your local time zone. The specific release times for Steam don’t look like they apply to all PC users since Steam is a very different platform to Game Pass, and Focus Entertainment was clear in its distinction between Steam and consoles/Game Pass. From what we can see, the best way to play Atomic Heart early is via Steam. Check out the PC requirements beforehand to avoid getting the game on the wrong platform. However, if you’re already a Game Pass subscriber, it makes more sense to wait a little longer and play the game at no extra cost. The game is available for pre-installing at the time of writing, so you should be able to start the game from one minute past midnight on February 21.
