Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora Update 2.0 Brings Third-Person Mode And Major Performance Options

Ubisoft has released Title Update 2.0 for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, delivering several long-requested features and a broad set of technical additions. The patch introduces a third-person camera option that shifts the game’s presentation and gives players a wider view of Pandora’s environments. The update also adds a New Game+ mode, allowing completed saves to carry progress into a renewed run.

The publisher rolled out two new upscaling technologies on PC: AMD FSR 4.0 and NVIDIA DLSS 4. Support for NVIDIA’s Multi-Frame Generation is now available on RTX-50 series cards, offering higher output performance with the usual warning of possible latency increases. The update weighs in at roughly 44GB on PC and is live across Ubisoft Connect and Steam.

Alongside the headline features, the patch contains adjustments to Na’vi language accuracy. The name “Eetu” now appears as “Itu,” which Ubisoft describes as a correction rather than reinterpretation. The update also restores missing map landmarks and applies a range of small fixes across platforms.

Several issues remain unresolved. Ubisoft acknowledges that XeSS Frame Generation can trigger a crash during startup, and that exiting the game with Frame Generation enabled may also cause failures on PC. Stuttering tied to FSR3 Frame Generation in Borderless Fullscreen mode persists, a problem noted since launch. The studio cites multiple active investigations but did not outline timelines for the next update.
