Borderlands 4 Sets Record, But PC Players Are Struggling To Play
"As of 4:30 pm EST on Steam, Borderlands 4 has about 2,000 reviews that are perfectly divided between negative and positive, giving the game a 50% mixed status. That's no good! Scrolling through reviews, the biggest complaints seem to be not about the content of the game, but about how poorly it performs on various hardware setups. Players are also complaining about stuttering and hitching, or being forced to use DLSS to play the game at a stable framerate."
"The long-awaited sequel to Gearbox's Borderlands 3 is a bigger, better, and wilder experience than the previous game, featuring a host of smart changes and additions to the classic looting-shooting formula. However, that's only the case if you can actually play the game and enjoy it. And on PC, players are reporting lots of performance issues, even on hardware that Gearbox listed as meeting the needed specs."
Borderlands 4 launched on PC via Steam and the Epic Store on September 11, becoming the biggest Borderlands launch on Steam with over 200,000 concurrent players shortly after release. Many PC players report performance issues, including stuttering, hitching, crashes, and inability to boot the game, even on hardware matching Gearbox's listed specs. Steam reviews are split roughly 50/50, with about 2,000 reviews yielding a mixed status. Some players report stable play and blame user hardware, while others point to Unreal Engine 5 and Denuvo DRM as likely causes of poor performance and optimization problems.
