Borderlands 4 pre-orders are live. Gearbox Software has shared the PC requirements, and they’re not as heavy as expected.

Fans were nervous when Randy Pitchford delayed the pricing news. Many feared an £80+ launch. But that’s not the case.

The game runs on Unreal Engine 5 and features the biggest open world in the series. Still, the PC specs are reasonable.

Here’s a side-by-side comparison:

Storage100 GB SSD required100 GB SSD required
Additional Notes8 CPU cores, 8 GB VRAM required8+ CPU cores, 12+ GB VRAM required

For a next-gen looter shooter, these specs are quite modest. Other Unreal Engine 5 titles often demand more.

The world in Borderlands 4 is seamless. No loading screens. If you see something, you can reach it.

Movement is also improved except for double jumping, gliding, dodging, and grappling. It should feel much faster and more fluid.

Co-op returns with drop-in, drop-out gameplay. Cross-play is supported, but you’ll need a SHiFT account.

Borderlands 4 launches on 12 September for PC, PS5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch 2.
