Table of Content

Ubisoft is opening Pandora’s Western Frontier to more players with a time-limited Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Free Trial. The trial runs January 23-26 across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Ubisoft Connect. It coincides with a new third-person camera update, offering an alternative viewpoint to the game’s usual perspective. Progress made in the trial will carry over to the full game. The trial experience is single-player only; co-op remains part of the full release.

Time-Limited Access – What's Included

The Free Trial provides a slice of the opening hours and a clear cap so players know what to expect. It’s designed to let newcomers test the opening loop and world structure without spoilers from later arcs.

• Dates: January 23-26
• Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC (Ubisoft Connect)
• Duration cap: up to five hours of playtime
• Progression cap: ends when you reach Hometree in The Aranahe Clan main quest (if hit before five hours)
• Modes: single-player only in trial; co-op available in the full game
• Save continuity: trial progression carries over to the full version

New Perspective – Third-Person Camera Update

Alongside the trial, Ubisoft has introduced a third-person camera option. The update lets players experience navigation and combat from an external viewpoint, providing a broader view of the environment and character animations. It’s positioned as an alternative way to explore the Western Frontier and complements players who prefer wider spatial awareness during traversal or encounters.

Platforms and Window

The Free Trial is available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Ubisoft Connect for a limited period from January 23-26. Access is constrained to the window, so any session planning should account for the five-hour cap and the end-date cutoff.

Bottom Line for Players

Why it matters – The Free Trial offers a clear, time-bound look at the opening hours and the new third-person camera without commitment. If you want to test traversal, combat flow, and the early quest arc, the five-hour window and save carryover make it straightforward to continue later without losing progress.
