Looking to explore the vast Western Frontier with a buddy? Well, thankfully, Ubisoft has made that possible in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora<\/a>, and we have all the details you need to play in multiplayer.<\/p>\n

Whether it be cinema or video games, Avatar<\/a> projects take a long while to make. Ubisoft began developing the new open-world action-adventure in 2017 in the hopes of bringing the world of Pandora to life better than the 2009 game did.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s fair to say that\u2019s been accomplished<\/a>, taking advantage of the latest hardware to create something that fans of blue indigenous species will be looking to sink their teeth in for months to come.<\/p>\n

Set 15 years following the aftermath of the original Avatar movie, Frontiers of Pandora takes players to a new continent with a new canon story that follows an orphaned Na\u2019vi that rises against the RDA.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest incentives for many is multiplayer, something that is explained fully below \u2013 including how to enable it and whether cross-play works.<\/p>\n

Is Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora multiplayer?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora supports two-player co-op<\/strong> \u2013 so yes, there is an option for multiplayer.<\/p>\n

This is strictly tied to its online mode, meaning there is no way to play side-by-side (or local co-op) in the game.<\/p>\n

It is limited to two people maximum, and is an add-on feature for what is pretty much a single-player experience.<\/p>\n

Does Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora have cross-play?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The good news is that Ubisoft has confirmed that cross-play is available across all platforms<\/strong>, whether playing on a console or PC.<\/p>\n

This is enabled automatically, and essentially means that you can play with friends who are on a different platform to you (so PlayStation can play with Xbox and vice versa).<\/p>\n

Additionally, cross-progression is available, so you can pick up your save file on another platform at any time.<\/p>\n

All you need to do is have a Ubisoft account and make sure it is linked to all the platforms you wish to play Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora on. More details can be found on Ubisoft\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How to use co-op in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora explained<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Co-operative play is unlocked in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora once The Aranahe Clan main quest is completed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This is the sixth main quest, and with HowLongToBeat<\/a> suggesting that the game will take 15 and a half hours to complete in total, it shouldn\u2019t take too long to unlock co-op \u2013 around two to three hours, from our estimation.<\/p>\n

The multiplayer function positions one player as the host and another as the guest, depending on who sent the original invitation to join their game.<\/p>\n

A co-op session will then begin, taking into account the host\u2019s progression, allowing players to roam the Western Frontier.<\/p>\n

Any quests or activities completed when playing co-op will not need replaying in single-player mode. Ubisoft has confirmed that gear, items and collectibles will all carry over, too.<\/p>

\u201cWhen it comes to difficulty during co-op, the game will respect each player\u2019s individual settings on how much damage you take and how much damage you deal,\u201d explained Ubisoft in a blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will also take into account each player\u2019s Combat Strength (a unified measurement of your equipment and skills).<\/p>\n

\u201cIn instances where the difficulty is relative to the player\u2019s Combat Strength, the game will adapt its difficultly level to reflect the host, the one who started the co-op session by sending an invitation.\u201d<\/p>
