Borderlands 4, one of this year’s much-awaited titles, has encountered technical difficulties on the PC platform. Several players have experienced challenges with configuration settings and optimization, resulting in subpar performance for many even when using lower graphical options and upscaling techniques.

- Systems equipped with high-end cards struggle to achieve optimal performance, with some users unable to reach target frame rates even on minimum graphics settings.
- Other players observing their experiences on different high-end rigs have reported a significant decrease in performance and graphical quality compared to previous installments.
To date, no formal announcement has been issued by the… developer, and no notifications regarding imminent fixes have been posted on the platform.
