Massive Entertainment released a new patch today for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandar. The new update 3.2 brings a few improvements and technical changes, the most notable being the addition of a 40 FPS mode.
Previously, Frontiers of Pandora came with 30 FPS and 60 FPS modes on all platforms, which allowed players to choose between performance or graphics as per their preference. The new 40 FPS mode will offer a middleground for players who want better visual experience without compromising too many framerates. This mode is only available on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S for now.
The developers have added support for Intel XeSS Super Sampling, which will make PC players happy. Intel’s technology helps non-RTX graphics cards push out DLSS-like visuals given the hardware supports. However, the new Avatar update has also “temporarily rolled back” support for AMD FSR3 for reasons unknown.
Additionally, the 3.2 patch also enables Fast Travel to Research Station Alpha while fixing various other crashes and minor issues.
Here are the full patch notes:
