Atomic Heart is a first-person shooter game developed by Mundfish. It was released on June 18th 2021 for both Windows and PS4. Atomic Heart is set in an alternate universe during the Soviet era and puts the player in a dystopian world tinged with sci-fi elements.
Since its release, Atomic Heart has received mostly positive reviews from both critics and players alike. But the question that everybody has been asking is, did Atomic Heart make money?
Atomic Heart was developed with a budget of US$12 million. While this might sound like a lot of money, it’s actually a relatively low budget compared to other triple-A titles. Whether the game has managed to make a profit at this budget remains to be seen.
Atomic Heart has already made back its budget in terms of sales, so at least it is no longer in the red. However, how much money it’s made in terms of revenues remains unknown. Mundfish has not yet released any official numbers.
One of the main sources of revenue for Atomic Heart is from digital sales. The game is available on various digital storefronts such as Steam, Microsoft Store, and PlayStation Store. So far, it has sold over 300,000 copies on Steam alone, and has peaked at the 19th position on the Steam sales chart.
Atomic Heart is also available as part of Xbox Game Pass, so it is likely earning some additional revenue through this medium as well.
Atomic Heart has done well so far, and it looks like it has earned back its development costs. However, it is still unclear how much money it has made in terms of revenue. Only time will tell if the game will be a lasting success.
Atomic Heart is an independent film that is not scheduled for a wide release in theaters. It has, however, been released internationally and released to various on-demand services, with limited theatrical screenings in some countries. It is too soon to tell how much money has been made, as it has yet to release in a majority of the countries.
