168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Borderlands 4 has had an interesting marketing cycle, with the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:release date being moved and Gearbox head Randy Pitchford saying that real fans would spend $80 on it, even th⛎ough the game was later revealed to cost $70.

The game's release on the recently released Nintendo Switch 2 may make you think thatꦗ Borderlands 4's system requirements are a non-factor for🦄 most modern gaming PCs, but they're heftier than you might expect. As highlighted by in a recent Reddit thread, Borderlands 4's minimum requirements exclude half of all Steam users.

This data comes courtesy of Steam's . Participation in the survey is optional, and Steam doesnᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ't r🧜elease the exact number of participants, but you'd imagine a platform as prolific and popular as Steam would easily reach the minimum number of participants for the survey to be viable.

Borderlands 4 Requires 8 Core Processors Or Better

According to the survey, 50.2 per cent of Steam usersꦇ have CPUs with 6 or fewer cores. The minimum requirements to play Borderlands 4 include a CPU equal to or better than the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X or Intel Core i7-9700 Processor, both of which are 8-core CPUs.

T𓄧he minimum requirements allow the player to play Borderlands 4 at 60 frames p൩er second, in 1080P resolution.

Not meeting the minimum requirements doesn't necessarily mean you can't get Borderlands 4 working, but performance issues are likely if you play the game with a build below the requirements. My new-ish GPU dragged my dying CPU across the finish line for se🌜veral years, so someone's build could compensate in other a🌸reas, depending on their hardware.

Still, players are surprised ಌby how demanding Borderlands 4 is, especially since the series has always eschewed photorealism in favour of stylised visua🧔ls. The heavier CPU requirements may be a result of the addition of seamless transitions to Borderlands 4, i.e. there won't be loading screens between open-world zones, possibly increasing the stress on the CPU.

This also raises the question of how Gearbox is getting the game to work on the Switch 2, which is a more powerful console than usual for Nintendo, but still doesn't compete with the PlayStation 🌠5 and Xbox Series X. There is speculation that the Switch 2 version will be downgraded in some way, but that's just conjecture until the game releases.

Borderlands 4 releases September 12, 2025, for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation🤪 5, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC.
