Atomic Heart looks best on PC, PS5 and Series X are level, and Series S got the worst deal.
The PC build adds draw distance, shadow quality, textures, anisotropic filtering, post-processing and vegetation density over the consoles, and it is the only version with ray tracing. It also loads fastest. The catch is a set of broken SSR reflections.
They share the same dynamic resolution range: 2160p indoors and between 1620p and 1800p outdoors, both targeting 60fps. The only measured difference is loading, which is quicker on PS5.
It drops to a dynamic 1080p, commonly 900p outdoors, and even then it cannot hold 60fps in the open. The analysis puts that down to weak optimisation rather than the hardware.
No setting fixes this: every version stutters on enemy animations, and console cutscenes still drop to 30fps now and then.
The best live offer for each version, every price with its format.
Resolution, modes and FPS come from the video analyses above. The rest is published by each platform's official store and by the game's technical sheet on PC. Where nobody publishes the figure we put a dash, not a guess.

Xbox is the Series X column unless Series S is stated. Resolution, modes, FPS, VRR and download size come from the videos; HDR, ray tracing and PC features from the technical sheet and the official Xbox catalogue.

PC. It adds draw distance, shadow quality, textures, anisotropic filtering, post-processing and vegetation density over the consoles, and it is the only version with ray tracing. The downside is a handful of broken SSR reflections.
Not in image quality: they use the same dynamic resolution range, 2160p indoors and 1620p~1800p outdoors, both targeting 60fps. Loading times are the only split, and they favour PS5.
It is the weakest version. It sits at a dynamic 1080p, commonly 900p outdoors, and even so it cannot keep a stable 60fps in open areas.
We measured 29 cards on the ATOMIC preset. An RTX 4090 gives 198-215 fps, an RTX 4080 171-192, an RX 7900 XTX 163-181 and an RTX 4070 Ti 138-162. An RX 6950 XT sits between 131 and 147.
No. Ray tracing is exclusive to the PC version, and at the time of the analysis it had not even shipped there yet.
DLSS 3.7 and FSR 2.2, plus DLSS frame generation. Field of view is adjustable, and ultrawide only works through mods.
