New The Callisto Protocol Patch 5.03 Addresses PC Ray Tracing Crashes and Further Improves Performance

The Callisto Protocol patch 5.03 has been rolled out across all platforms, addressing a crashing issue on PC related to ray tracing.

This new update appears to be a minor one. Aside from addressing the abovementioned ray tracing crashing issues on PC, this patch fixes an audio log issue on PlayStation and included additional performance optimizations across the board. In addition, the patch fixes Out-of-World streaming issues in the Final Transmission expansion.

Several patches have since been released to improve the gameplay experience.

Let's hope that this new update further improves the game's performance on all platforms.
