But the joy was short-lived. From the early hours, the community has begun to report performance issues on PC that tarnish the experience. The result has been a flood of negative reviews on the Valve store, which has led to the game’s rating being in a “Mixed” state just hours after its release.

User testimonials indicate that the game fails to maintain a stable framerate on different graphics settings, even on powerful equipment. This is added to sudden drops in performance and unexpected closures, making it difficult to enjoy the game normally. For many, the problem is serious enough to stop playing until Gearbox releases a corrective patch.

So far, the studio has not issued any official statement, although a response is expected in the coming hours. With such a massive launch and a high volume of connected players, the company will need to react quickly to stop the wave of negative reviews on Steam and regain the trust of those who have bet on Borderlands 4 since its launch day.
