Despite cutting the gags, Borderlands 4's PC specs say it still needs 100GB of SSD space

How overmuch of that is guns you’ll ne'er use

Two days earlier launch, Borderlands 4 has its PC strategy requirements. They’re mostly connected the higher broadside without teetering implicit into full-on tech demo lunacy – the RTX 2070 is simply a minimum-spec graphics card, for lawsuit – though anyone with a smaller SSD volition request to marque country for the looty FPS sequel’s bumper-size 100GB retention requirement.

I person mixed feelings astir this. On the 1 hand, gargantuan instal sizes are benignant of obnoxious (even the infamously bloated Call of Duty agrees), and are partially caused by simply visual, high-resolution textures that we progressively request madly costly GPUs to adjacent enable. Or astatine least, to alteration without simultaneously committing framerateicide.

On the different hand, 100 is simply a precise circular and satisfying number. Just look astatine it. Way amended than 112 oregon immoderate garbage. I bash wonderment if anyone moving successful Gearbox’s gigabyte dieting section saw it was imaginable to compress it down to 99GB, perchance avoiding the daze of entering the triple digits, but near it astatine 100GB conscionable due to the fact that it’s vaguely nicer. I fishy I’d bash the same.

Anyway, here’s the hardware:

Borderlands 4 minimum PC specs

• OS: Windows 10 / 11
• CPU: Intel Core i7-9700 / AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (8 halfway minimum)
• RAM: 16GB
• GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 / AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT / Intel Arc A580 (8GB minimum)
• Storage: 100GB (SSD required)

Borderlands 4 recommended PC specs

• OS: Windows 10 / Windows 11
• CPU: Intel Core i7-12700 / AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
• RAM: 32GB
• GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 / AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT / Intel Arc B580
• Storage: 100GB (SSD required)

Solid authorities hungriness aside, it’s a spot unusual seeing the Arc B580 successful the recommended tier, alongside the RTX 3080 and RX 6800 XT – it’s a bully small fund paper but not connected the aforesaid level arsenic those 2 older, yet bonafide high-end GPUs. Though possibly that means Borderlands 4 performs better-than-recommended connected this Nvidia/AMD kit?

Also, 2K’s station doesn’t notation it specifically, but DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation is supported arsenic well. This needs a GeForce RTX 50 bid paper to run astatine afloat pelt, with RTX 40 models making bash with DLSS 3-style 2x framework gen.

I’m mostly successful the 'wait and spot however it is' campy connected Fourderlands, with its caller satellite and its galore billions of randomly generated firearms, having antecedently been funny capable to mulch done Borderlands 3 with mates but jointly concluding it wasn’t worthy our time. This caller 1 is thing of a reset, with its pb writer Taylor Clark claiming it won’t person arsenic galore jokes. Which is, astatine once, apt an betterment and besides a weird happening to marque a selling constituent of. B4's retired connected September 12th.
