According to MSN, one significant upgrade improves the game’s compatibility with the PlayStation 5 Pro, a cutting-edge machine with better visuals and performance. The Callisto Protocol has been enhanced to provide an even more stunning experience for PS5 Pro users, operating in 8K at 30 frames per second (fps) with full ray tracing enabled in every mode. This improvement makes it achievable for the game’s complex lighting, textures, and shadows to come to life in previously challenging ways.

The update adds many additional graphics settings designed to accommodate varying hardware capabilities and tastes in addition to the 8K option. Gamerant states that the PS5 Pro’s Callisto Protocol has the following visual modes:

• Quality Mode: 30FPS at 8K with Full RTX
• Performance Mode: 60FPS at 4K with Full RTX
• Balanced Mode: 40FPS at 4K with Full RTX

For players who prefer a smooth experience, Performance Mode is likely the preferred choice. Running the game at 60fps in 4K resolution ensures a smooth framerate, which is important in fast-paced or action-heavy sequences where every frame matters. Balanced Mode offers a middle ground, delivering 40fps at 4K with ray tracing, which balances smooth gameplay and more effective visual detail. This mode would be ideal for players who value the enhanced image quality offered by 4K resolution and ray tracing but still desire a framerate above the base 30fps.

These upgrades highlight The Callisto Protocol’s dedication to giving every player a top-notch, visually striking experience regardless of preferred mode. There is something for everyone who wants to experience the horror within The Callisto Protocol on the PS5 Pro, regardless of whether you choose the crispest graphics, the smoothest gameplay, or a combination of the two.
