The Callisto Protocol Standard Edition will be available for $59.99 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. However, the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions will cost $69.99. If you pre-purchase the game, you will receive the Retro Prisoner character and weapons skin as well as Contraband Pack. Keep in mind that the latter is exclusive to PlayStation consoles.

There is also a Digital Deluxe Edition available for The Callisto Protocol, including the game's Season Pass, which will provide free access to post-launch expansions and items. If you get the Digital Deluxe Edition on PS5 or Xbox Series X|S, you will also receive the last-gen version of the game for PS4 or Xbox One for free. This version costs $89.99. There is also a last-gen-only version of Digital Deluxe Edition which costs $79.99, which is the same price as the PC version of Digital Deluxe Edition.

Aside from access to future DLC content, the Season Pass will allow players to receive Outer Way Skin Collection, Contagion Bundle, and Riot Bundle for free. Unlike their names, Contagion and Riot bundles are not skins, but they are additional game modes in The Callisto Protocol for those who are looking for extra challenges in the game's horrifying universe.

The Contagion mode will put players in a hardcore situation with fewer resources as well as enabled permadeath, which will give them only one chance to escape the prison. The Riot mode, on the other hand, is an infinite survival fight against waves of mutated creatures.
