Update 1.2 Released for Frontiers of Pandora

Key Takeaways

Title Update 1.2 for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has been rolled out, bringing with it PlayStation 5 Pro support and resolving numerous issues. The game’s second paid expansion, Secret of the Spires, is also now available, introducing a new area, an extended story campaign, additional side quests, activities, skills, and gear.

Massive Entertainment has dropped Title Update 1.2 for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora right alongside its latest expansion pack. This update arrives just a week before the game celebrates its first anniversary. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, an open-world adventure inspired by James Cameron’s iconic sci-fi movies, launched on December 7, 2023. Since then, Ubisoft has released several updates to enhance game features, boost stability, and iron out technical glitches. This update, like its predecessors, adds another region and delivers a comprehensive list of bug fixes.

Title Update 1.2 went live on November 28, coinciding with the release of the shooter’s second story expansion, Secret of the Spires. This new content takes players to the Spires of the Clouded Forest, offering an additional story campaign along with side quests and activities. It also introduces new skills and gear. Originally set to launch on November 26, Secret of the Spires saw a brief delay due to a last-minute issue, as explained by the developers.

One standout feature of this update is the support for PlayStation 5 Pro. Gamers using this latest console will explore the lush landscapes of the Na’vi’s world at 60 FPS in Quality Mode—twice the frame rate of the standard PS5. Additionally, the PS5 Pro version promises better resolution, utilizing PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR), an AI-enhanced upscaling technology designed to boost visual fidelity.

With this update, players can now allocate skill points to unlock and enhance various abilities for their flying Ikran mount. The update also tackles a range of known bugs, including one where players received rewards without the need to loot or finish quests.

To install the latest update, PC users need 24.32 GB of free space. PlayStation 5 users require 18 GB, while Xbox Series X/S will need 17.5 GB of available storage.
