Digital Foundry has just dropped another look at Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora - this time focusing on the console versions and how each of them perform across a variety of modes. On Xbox Series X and PS5 we have both a 30FPS and a 60FPS mode, whereas Xbox Series S has just one 30FPS option.

On the whole, it looks like Ubisoft's new open world adventure fares pretty well - it's certainly not one of those cases where it needed way more time in the oven before release. However, the game's vast open world does struggle a bit at 60FPS - but VRR seems to save the day here.

When the higher-end consoles drop under 60FPS, frame rate dips and screen tearing are visible. However, VRR smooths most of that out on Xbox Series X - and it's recommended that you use the tech if you want to play this one in the performance mode. It's only available on certain displays though, so if you want to read up on VRR itself and what it does, Digital Foundry also provided a closer look at that last year.

As for Xbox Series S users, the choice is made for you - only one 30FPS mode is present at launch. The good news is that it's largely stable on all consoles and looks like a great way to play Frontiers of Pandora - if you can stomach the lower frame rate.
