Ahead of Atomic Heart's highly anticipated release next week, pre-loading for the game recently went live on Xbox platforms. Now, according to what we've seen on the PlaystationSize Twitter page, which tracks permanent downloads on the PS5 platform and PlayStation platforms in general, we know when pre-loading will go live on PlayStation platforms as well.
Atomic Heart will begin pre-loading on PS5 and PS4 two days before its launch on February 19. The space requirement for the game has also been released on both consoles, and the PS5 version will require less space. It's 41.677 GB on PS5, compared to the game's 47.901 GB on PS4. Interestingly, Atomic Heart is much smaller on PlayStation consoles than on Xbox platforms, with Xbox platforms requiring over 78GB of storage space.
