Borderlands 4 Breaks Records Despite PC Performance Issues

Borderlands 4's launch on Steam is highly successful in terms of player numbers but is marred by widespread performance problems, including crashes, stuttering, and hardware compatibility issues, leading to mixed reviews. The game’s optimization appears to be problematic, possibly due to Unreal Engine 5 and DRM software, with some players experiencing improvements after hardware upgrades and driver updates, while others face ongoing issues. A recent patch may have introduced new problems, prompting calls for further updates.
