Code Violet Update Improves Dinosaur AI, Photo Mode
TeamKill Media's 1.000.029 patch refines enemy behavior, adds PS5 Pro upscaling support, and expands photo mode tools.
Updated on Nov. 8, 2026 in Gaming
TeamKill Media released Code Violet update 1.000.029 on November 7, 2026. The patch improves dinosaur AI, performance, inventory management, controls, checkpoint saving, and photo mode.
Why it matters
The update addresses gameplay, stability, and presentation issues across the game, including restored haptics, audio menus, and cinematic color grading. It also introduces a cosmetic DLC pack, showing how the developer is supporting the game after launch.
The patch adds seven curated photo mode poses and PSSR support on PS5 Pro, with TSR retained on base PS5. The DLC pack includes three new outfits and three new weapon skins, and the release notes do not describe how these changes perform in player testing.
The players
TeamKill Media
TeamKill Media is the developer behind Code Violet, a survival action game that has received post-launch updates.
The details
Dinosaur AI now refines sight, hearing, and searching after losing track of Violet. Selected outfits and hairstyles appear in supported cinematics, and saved item positions and stacks persist when loading a checkpoint. Photo mode gains improved D-pad navigation and clearer selection feedback.
Timeline
November 7, 2026: Code Violet update 1.000.029 released.
November 16, 2026: Cosmetic DLC pack releases.
Culture Shift
The patch's PSSR support on PS5 Pro reflects Sony's push to bring its own AI upscaling into third-party titles on its enhanced hardware. Base PS5 owners keep the existing TSR option, so the change widens the gap in visual features between console models.
Players on PS5 Pro can use PSSR upscaling, while base PS5 owners keep TSR. The new photo mode poses and checkpoint save improvements change how players capture screenshots and manage progress.
The takeaway
Patch notes like this one show how post-launch support can fix core systems and add features without a full sequel. Players who want the best visual results should check whether their console supports the upscaling option available to them.
What happens next
The cosmetic DLC pack releases November 16, 2026, adding three outfits and three weapon skins.
