The release of Borderlands 4 has not been without controversy, both in terms of performance and certain limitations on consoles. However, there are several in-game settings adjustments that can significantly improve the gaming experience while Gearbox works on official patches.

These changes mainly affect controls, gameplay, and some accessibility options that, when properly configured, make the game feel much more fluid and comfortable on Xbox Series and PS5.

Recommended settings for Borderlands 4 on console

  • Horizontal and vertical sensitivity: 2

  • Cursor speed: 0.5

  • Cursor friction: 0.5

  • Left and right joysticks:

    • Dead zones: 1% and 0.5%

Temporary solution to errors and crashes

Reducing dead zones to a minimum improves accuracy, although it may cause deviations. As for sensitivity, it’s recommended to start with low values and gradually increase them.

• If you notice sudden jerks or performance drops, the best solution is to completely close the game and restart it to exit the quick resume function. Currently, Borderlands 4 seems to be suffering from a memory loss issue that is corrected with a clean restart.

Until the first official patch arrives, applying these settings can make a difference and allow you to enjoy the game in better conditions on console.
