When Atomic Heart first released in February, one of the biggest criticisms of the game was how small the font size was on the subtitles and menus. They were incredibly difficult to read unless you had perfect vision, it was particularly poor when NPCs were talking. Even if you sat too far away from the screen you would need theatre binoculars.
Fortunately the latest patch in Atomic Heart is meant to fix these issues with the subtitles, and hopefully will add some more accessibility features so they’re more legible for everyone.
However, there are those on Reddit who do not believe these changes to be enough and stating that the subtitles are still quite difficult to read.
The latest patch also added a 120Hz mode and more which you can read all about here:
