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.

The developer reassured fans:

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