Borderlands 4 Faces Backlash Over PC Requirements

Borderlands 4 is set for global release on September 12, 2025, for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and later on Nintendo Switch 2, with both digital and physical preorders available. The standard edition is priced at $70, with Deluxe and Super Deluxe Editions costing $100 and $130 respectively, offering additional DLC, new missions, and extra playable Vault Hunters. A $150 Collector's Edition is available but does not include the game itself. Fan backlash has emerged over high PC system requirements, which mandate at least an 8-core CPU and powerful GPUs like the RTX 2070 (minimum) or RTX 3080 (recommended), making the game inaccessible to many Steam users. The game promises an extensive post-launch roadmap with free and paid updates, including Bounty Packs and story expansions to drive long-term engagement. Further gameplay and DLC details are expected at the upcoming Borderlands Fan Fest.
