Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Update 1.013 Targeted for PS5 Pro Enables PSSR Toggle Option

[summaraize]

Two weeks ago, Ubisoft released a patch for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora that brought in the Secrets of the Spire DLC, and PS5 Pro support. Unfortunately, this enhancement for Sony’s mid-gen console refresh of the PS5 also brought in issues.

Today, Ubisoft released Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora update 1.013, and this brings in a toggle for PS5 Pro players to be able to choose whether they want to enable or disable PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR). Choosing to disable PSS5, the game will run using the same upscaling tech as the base PS5.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora’s Latest Update Brings Changes to PS5 Pro Graphical Settings

According to Ubisoft, while the PS5 Pro Quality (that enables 60 frames-per-second) will still be available, PS5 Pro players will be able to toggle between base Performance (60fps) and quality (30fps) modes

The company says they will continue t improve the quality of the PS5 Pro Quality Mode using PSSR, though no timetable has been shared as to when we’ll actually see that.

Outside of that, this patch does not mention bug fixes, though that should come in a later patch. We do know the issues the developers are looking into across all platforms.
