Massive Entertainment has rolled out Title Update 1.2 for the expansive Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, coinciding with the release of the game’s latest expansion. This update arrives just shy of a year since the game initially launched, marking a significant milestone for fans eagerly following its journey.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is an open-world adventure inspired by James Cameron’s science fiction saga. Released on December 7, 2023, under Ubisoft’s banner, the game has seen numerous updates aimed at refining gameplay, boosting performance, and addressing technical glitches. The game’s latest update is no different, as it not only fixes a plethora of issues but also introduces a new region for players to explore.
The new update, which dropped on November 28, coincides with the release of the second story expansion, Secret of the Spires. This paid addition invites players to a fresh locale named the Spires of the Clouded Forest and unravels a new narrative arc. Alongside, players can dive into a myriad of side quests, pick up new skills, and acquire fresh gear. Originally slated for November 26, the expansion faced a slight delay due to unforeseen technical hurdles.
One standout feature of this update is the PlayStation 5 Pro support, something console enthusiasts are sure to appreciate. This means those gaming on the PS5 Pro can experience the lush vistas of the Na’vi home world at a fluid 60 frames per second when in Quality Mode—double what the standard PS5 can deliver under similar settings. Additionally, the PS5 Pro benefits from Sony’s cutting-edge PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, a technology that enhances in-game visuals through advanced AI upscaling.
Moreover, this substantial update allows players to use skill points on enhancing their flight experience with the iconic Ikran mount, addressing long-standing bugs—like players obtaining rewards without completing tasks—and more.
For those gaming on PC, the update requires 24.32 GB of storage space, while PS5 and Xbox Series X/S players need 18 GB and 17.5 GB, respectively, to embrace these enhancements and fixes.
