The Callisto Protocol was released last week and reached a large number of sales quickly. The game is available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Multi-platform releases are usually hard to optimize. We’ve seen many similar cases like Cyberpunk 2077. The Callisto Protocol also had technical problems at the game’s launch version, especially on PC. The team is relaying serial updates to improve the playability, but the fans aren’t stopping asking. Developer studio Striking Distance revealed a statement about their efforts in optimizing. They say the company is listening to the complaints and working hard.
The Callisto Protocol Developer Talks About The Game’s Technical Problems
The developers released an update at the end of this weekend. As the update got released, they also tweeted about how they work to fix the crashes and framerate issues. “We are listening, working hard on updates, and will have details to share on more upcoming improvements early this week,” They also reminded us the ray-tracing shadows are supported and looking good on Xbox Series X. There might be a couple of problems with the shadows right now, but Xbox Series X will keep supporting ray-tracing shadows after the patches.
We wanted to clear up any confusion: ray-traced shadows are supported and look great on Xbox Series X. However, we are aware of issues with ray-traced reflections that we are addressing. More information is coming this week. We appreciate the patience and support.

Some sources say the game was unplayable on PC at the launch, but the console versions were playable with problems. Thanks to the recent patches, the game has fewer problems now. But you might choose to play it on a console rather than a PC. The Callisto Protocol has shiny graphics on both platforms; the PC version might offer better graphics if your system is strong enough. Especially the ray-tracing settings need more processing power; you decide.
A few rumors are saying The Callisto Protocol developers are working under crunch culture. Unfortunately, that’s a very common term in the gaming industry. The employees make extra hours to keep their position, ignoring their mental health. The game needs serial updates, but the company should’ve set a different release season if the developers need time.
