Borderlands 4 PC Patch Rolls Out Today as Gearbox Prioritizes Fixes After a record-breaking launch, Gearbox shifts focus to performance updates and community feedback

Borderlands 4 made a huge splash when it dropped on September 12, drawing over 300,000 concurrent players on Steam during launch week. But with the massive debut came some growing pains, as PC users quickly flagged performance hiccups and technical problems.

🛠️ Gearbox Responds to Player Complaints

Gearbox has already pushed out one update aimed at improving stability, and now a second major PC patch is rolling out on September 18.

“This is our top priority,” Gearbox confirmed, emphasizing its commitment to addressing PC-specific issues.

While the studio hasn’t detailed the full contents of the new patch yet, players can expect continued performance tuning and bug fixes.

👀 Console Players Next in Line

Gearbox also acknowledged console performance concerns, noting that updates are in development. One long-requested feature, a field of view (FOV) slider, is currently being tested for consoles, with more details “very soon.”

The developer reassured fans:

“We’re reading every piece of feedback you share.”

📊 Borderlands 4 by the Numbers

Gearbox says “millions” of players have already jumped into the game.
Publisher 2K Games hasn’t released official sales figures yet.
For context:
- Borderlands 3 sold 5 million copies in five days, making it 2K’s fastest-selling game ever.
- It eventually reached 23 million units sold.
- Borderlands 2 remains the franchise leader with 30 million sales worldwide.

With Borderlands 4 set to arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 on October 3, the player base is expected to grow even further.

🚀 What’s Next?

Borderlands 4 is off to a strong start despite its rocky technical launch. With PC patches dropping quickly and console improvements on the horizon, Gearbox is showing its commitment to keeping the looter-shooter running smoothly across all platforms.
