The Callisto Protocol’s latest update adds New Game + and performance optimizations across for platforms

The Callisto Protocol now has a New Game + mode

Striking Distance Studios have released patch 3.01 for The Callisto Protocol on all platforms, adding to the game it’s highly anticipated New Game + mode while offering gamers new performance optimisations for the game on all platforms.

On PC, this update weighs in at 11GB and is said to deliver moderate performance increases when ray tracing is disabled. That said, the game’s ray tracing effects remains as taxing as ever, and this update has a minimal performance impact when these effects are activated. 

Across all platforms, New Game + allows gamers to carry over all weapons, upgrades, and Callisto credits over to a new save. These items can be accessed at the game’s first reforge.
