Mundfish has confirmed that its highly anticipated first-person shooter, Atomic Heart, will be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. What’s really annoying here is the excuse Mundfish presented, as well as the fact that Denuvo is not listed on the game’s Steam store page.
Mundfish claims that it doesn’t know whether Denuvo will impact the game’s performance. If it does though, the developer claims that DLSS 3 will win back those loses.
As Robert Bagratuni, head of Mundfish, confirmed in an interview.
Again, the issue here is that Denuvo is still not present on the game’s Steam store page. Not only that, but Mundfish confirmed the inclusion of this anti-tamper tech just two weeks prior to the game’s release.
Atomic Heart is an action first-person shooter set in the alternative, retro-future version of the 1950s USSR. The game will support real-time ray tracing effects. Furthermore, PC gamers can download an older RTX tech demo for it.
Mundfish will release Atomic Heart on February 21st, 2023!

Here to post the classic gamer response:
“DevUNo bAd fOR my pOTAto CPU, I will boYcOTt”
while low-key I have already pre-ordered it.
Judging by your ratio, I’d say you nailed it. Well done.
Haha, you are very good at this ??? respect
Judging by your ratio, I’d say you nailed it. Well done.
Lol. Not everyone has an RTX 4000 series GPU so yeah.
I’ve been sort of looking forward to this game, but never planned on buying it right away. I always wait for reviews, patches, (and hopefully removal of Denuvo) which means I wait a fairly long time to play new games lol. Maybe this one will be ready to play properly a year after release.
Oh well…
Well that just means no buy wait for scene release or just forget about the game
Highly anticipated? Never even heard of this thing until now, and I’ll just as quickly forget it.
Then you have been living under a rock.
Nah, this and Days gone by have been vapor ware garbo for a year or two. Unless you actively read gaming news about upcoming releases then you probably haven’t seen sh*t about this game.
Yeah I’m not sponsoring russia/ gazprom/ whatever oligarch is behind this game.
Well, off my wishlist it goes. Was really hoping for a chance of it coming to GOG because of their publisher usually release DRM-Free games. But I keep telling you dimwits that these developers MAKE THESE DECISIONS. It’s not like the old days or like a Zenimax or EA situation where they own the studios so they make all the decisions. Companies like mundfish & striking distant are their own boss. They are one step away from being techland and they call the executive shots. The publisher is just they to PUBLISH! FOCUS Home Entertainment games are mostly on GOG. They are basically just bank rolling Mundfish physical copies at this point. But then for some reason they have 2 published, a new one named 4Divinity. Namco and CDPR had that relationship when it came to physical copies. So I don’t want to hear anyone acting like, “oh these poor developers”. These developers are the new scum publishers, STOP FUQIN WORSHIPPING THEM! The business model has changed. The developers have learned from their masters. IOI interactive have thought is this first hand. As soon as they, left enix they went over to WB, then left WB and became even more scummy.
So we’re at a point now that DLSS/FSR is being used as a pawn to offset the hit by Denuvo, f**k these guys…
Not only Denuvo, but the game’s core performance.
And this is a trend that has to be stop.
Game devs are more and more lazy, and don’t give a sh*t, they come with attitude that: “Nah, the DLSS/FSR will fix the performance for us, if not those idiots must go buy second gpu”
It’s not only that, they’re not coding Vulkan/DX12 properly.
Great news. Cry, pirates, cry.
But the pirates are the ones who get better performance lol
The pirates will get the game anyway and with better performance. So this will only ruin it for everyone that will buy it.
Denuvo usually can be breaked in months and can play it with much better performance
Waiting for piracy??
Their trailer had stuttering. What do you expect.
I don’t care. I play it on gamepass so if it’s sh**ty I can just delete it.
Looks like I’ll be using piracy for atomic heart and anything this developer ever makes. Thanks for saving me money. Can’t wait to play my free and fully patched and finished product a year from now!
“Mundfish claims that it doesn’t know whether Denuvo will impact the game’s performance. If it does though, the developer claims that DLSS 3 will win back those loses.”
Ahahahahaha. How do they not know? Like are they even gonna play test it once they slap jewnuvo on? Buy up goyim!
Meh
Where the crackers went and can’t Crack don’t even a single game these days with denuvo?
They went working for Irdeto.
Who cares?
pooor pirates
GOTY
Draconian Denuvo DRM like this equivalent having your house doors welded shut by an authoritarian regime during a COVID Lockdown.
Don’t call it DRM more like DRO! (Digital Rights Oppression)
Fortunately, Steam still gives the option to put tags. If enough people tag with Denuvo, it will show. Also, probably someone will open an discussion to expose the situation.
seems more game use it than not so its not even news anymore i just expect all games to have it and just get suprised when it doesnt
Just wait and see and get the game on Game Pass if it’s not a trainwreck. I hate when developers come out with this sh*t one month before release, and to tell people to use DLSS as a solution, ugh, idiots.
Post a link then. Would love to read that article!!
Good. Poor people can thumb me down, so can people that don’t like denuvo. I love that the only woman cracking it is losing the fight. I also love toddlers pretending it has any change to performance. Stop being ignorant. I will buy this just to spite you kids. Now time to block this site full of chuds.
Buy a game made in Ukraine instead. F*k these clowns and russia.
Just play it on game pass not giving a dollar to these turds lmao
And there no way wine devs gonna figure this out, it never been done before to emulate entire windows boot process through wine by tricking the software that it’s real Windows OS by desquize is not going work with denuvo ai
They making sure it won’t be running on any Linux computer or steamdeck , cause denuvo is active checking for windows svchost and ntkernel presence during boot
And there no way wine devs gonna figure this out, it never been done before to emulate entire windows boot process through wine by tricking the software that it’s real Windows OS by desquize is not going work with denuvo ai, it’s hackable for windows but not for dxvk community or steam deck users….they gonna have to wait years when mundfish publisher feel like it to relax a bit but even that is problematic for Linux users to figure this as well…you know how long and complicated to get sonic forces to work…it’s not just like using proton and set it…oh no, it’s must more input to get at least boot to title screen is biggest relief when entering more commands by make changes in exec commands to make rendering engine to use alternative that normal execution don’t work with denuvo anti tampering…since dx11 titles can go around the buffer but not with dx12
Atomic sh*t. Russian propaganda
Reading your article helped me a lot and I agree with you. But I still have some doubts, can you clarify for me? I’ll keep an eye out for your answers.
Thank you for your sharing. I am worried that I lack creative ideas. It is your article that makes me full of hope. Thank you. But, I have a question, can you help me?
