Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora plunges you into the open world of Avatar (and its sequel). But if you’ve yet to upgrade to a new-gen console you could be wondering if Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora be on Xbox One or PlayStation 4.
Here’s If Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Is on Xbox One or PS4
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X | S, Amazon Luna, and PC. It is not coming to PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, unfortunately.
It’s true there have been some games, Hogwarts Legacy and Marvel’s Midnight Suns for example, that launched on new-gen systems and, later, landed on last-gen. But that’s not what’s happening here. Ubisoft is not releasing the game on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One at all.
Ubisoft hasn’t given an official reason why not but it’s likely because it would be technically difficult to make the game work on PS4 and Xbox One. Developer Massive Entertainment would have to take into account that last-gen platforms don’t have SSDs and, beyond that, they might have to compromise their ambitions just so they could squeeze the game onto a last-gen platform.
And if, at this point, you’re thinking of playing the original Avatar: The Game Video, released in 2009 for PS3, 360, and Wii, that’s not backwards-compatible with Xbox One or PS4, sorry. So, players on last gen platforms are out of luck.
Is Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora on Game Pass?
For those playing the title on PC or Xbox Series X/S, you may be wondering if Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora will be available to those who subscribe to Game Pass. Unfortunately, the answer is no. The reason for that is the same as why the game isn’t on Steam: Ubisoft has its own digital storefront called Ubisoft Connect and its own subscription service akin to Game Pass called Ubisoft+. A lot of different companies have moved towards this sort of model in recent years.
How Are the Reviews for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora?
Reviews for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora have been a bit mixed. In our review, we talked about how while the game can be really immersive at times and succeeds when it is, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora sometimes struggles with its open world and that there were some annoying technical issues.

So, the answer to will Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora be on Xbox One or PS4 is no. It’ll land on new-gen consoles, PC, and Amazon Luna this December 7th, but it won’t be hitting Xbox One or PS4.
