Whether you are trying to pass the Darwin Test or are just taking in the beauty of the open world, Atomic Heart is a visually stunning game. However, it is ironic that it doesn’t have ray tracing since the graphical fidelity of Atomic Heart was bragged about in NVIDIA showcases way back in 2018.

There is no news on when we can expect ray tracing to come to Atomic Heart. We know that it most likely won’t be locked behind the Gold or Premium Editions or the game which includes four post-game DLC. For now, we have to sit and wait on ray tracing.

If you haven’t tried Atomic Heart or are enjoying it so far, don’t let the absence of ray tracing ruin your experience with the game. Though having ray tracing in this already impressive world would be the cherry on top, Atomic Heart still delivers a great FPS experience without it.
