Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora physical version needs online connection to install

Owners of the disc version of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora will need to have an online connection to install the game.

As noted by developer Ubisoft, players will need to install a day one patch, which is “mandatory” to start playing the game. This means a one-time internet connection is required. An internet connection is also required for co-op gameplay.

Once this patch is installed, however, those looking to head through Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora solo will be able to do so offline.

This little nugget of tucked away information has already tripped up some players. Reddit user Interesting-Squash81 got their hands on their physical PlayStation 5 copy of the game early. When they went to install it onto the console, they were met with a screen showing the game’s title and its release date. Fair enough.
