Atomic Heart players reaches 10 million players
Mundfish, the developer behind the 2023 hit Atomic Heart, is leveraging its debut title’s success to expand into a new strategic venture within the gaming industry. As the title just reached 10 million players, the studio has officially launched Mundfish Powerhouse, a new publishing initiative to support developers and investors.
Atomic Heart has surpassed 10 million users across all platforms since its launch in February 2023. Building on this achievement, Mundfish (via Push Square) describes Powerhouse as more than a traditional publishing arm; it aims to be a full-scale creative and operational partner. The new label promises to provide its partners with production expertise, high-end tools, a proven and scalable development pipeline, and hands-on support from concept through to launch.
Mundfish CEO Robert Bagratuni articulated the selective criteria for Powerhouse’s collaborations, stating, “Powerhouse will only partner with projects where we see great potential to make noise. Not just a handful of indie hits, but big, bold games that can set a new standard for quality and creative risk”. Mundfish confirmed that Powerhouse is already working behind the scenes with new partners, with more details to be revealed.
While Atomic Heart proved highly popular with players, its critical reception was somewhat mixed, with a Metacritic score of 70. Nonetheless, the game resonated with a large player base, demonstrating its appeal despite its flaws.
