Exploring Pandora will require a lot of your PC’s hardware. Unlike most games, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora‘s recommended and minimum requirements don’t have many differences, which is bad news for low and medium-end PC and laptop owners.

Ubisoft is going hard on the creation of the Avatar world—Pandora. Avatar has a massive fan base considering it’s the highest-grossing movie of all time, and not even Avengers: Endgame managed to surpass it.

Fans will be able to see if the franchise translates well to the video game medium with Frontiers of Pandora. Players can explore an open-world Pandora, play as and customize a Na’vi character, fly on an Ikran, and fight against the RDA.

What’s all that going to cost your PC’s systems? Read on to find out.

Lower-end PCs and laptops and even medium-end hardware won’t be able to run Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora because of the magnitude of the game. Rendering the massive world, its life, and details will require a lot of power.

AAA games normally have a minimum system requirement that indicates to players that they’ll be able to play the game on lower settings if they don’t meet all the requirements of the recommended system. But Ubisoft left no space for that this time.

You’ll need a whopping 16GB RAM for both the minimum and recommended system requirements and 8GB VRAM for the minimum. You’ll also need 90GB of free space with an SSD.

Ubisoft even points out that “laptop models of video cards may work, as long as their performance is similar to the minimum requirements” on their support page.
