Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Adds 40FPS Mode, More in Update

Released last December, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora surprised players by becoming one of the best open-world titles of 2023. A new update is introducing the somewhat rare 40 FPS mode on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, offering players a middle ground between quality and performance mode.

The update also adds the ability to fast travel to Research Station Alpha.

The 3.2 patch comes in at 2.4 GB for PlayStation 5 players, 3.1 GB for Xbox Series X/S players, and 3 GB for PC players.

See the full patch notes below:

Notable Improvements: 

• [Xbox Series X/S, PS5] Added a 40 FPS mode.

Global:

• Added Fast Travel option to Research Station Alpha. 
• Controller re-mapping no longer resets on game restart. 
• Fixed various crashes. 
• Fixed a few misspellings. 
• Fixed some voice lines overlapping during dialogue. 

Technical:

• Dev Note: To prevent visual artifacts impacting the interpolation output of FSR3 Frame Generation we’ve decided to roll back to the previously used version of FSR3. Despite this rollback, we’ve decided to keep certain improvements that we introduced with the upgraded version, such as improvements to UI composition when using Frame Generation.
