'Borderlands 4' Boss Hits Back at Negative Reviews

Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford recommends players adjust graphics settings for better performance on Borderlands 4, citing modern hardware demands; less than 0.01% report valid issues.

  • Gearbox continues patching and improving Borderlands 4's PC performance by monitoring telemetry and advising some players to lower resolution or adjust settings to improve stability and framerate.
