2K Games has made Borderlands 4 available for pre-order on all platforms. And, as we can see, this won’t be a $80 game. Instead, the standard version will be priced at $69.99, like pretty much most games these days. The publisher has also shared the game’s PC requirements, so let’s take a look at them.
An $80 price wouldn’t make a lot of sense for a game like Borderlands 3. After all, publishers have already raised the price of their games when this console generation started. So, it’s at least good to know that some publishers are not following Nintendo’s example.
Some Borderlands fans may call this a win. A lot of people criticized Randy Pitchford for his comments about a potential $80 price. Personally, I believe this was a nothing-burger. It simply got more people to talk about Borderlands 4. So, it could be a marketing trick and nothing more. And if it was, then GG. Goal achieved.
Borderlands 4 will be powered by Unreal Engine 5. So, PC gamers will at least need an Intel Core i7-9700 or AMD Ryzen 7 2700X with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 or AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT. The game will also require 100GB of free disk space.
Gearbox recommends using an Intel Core i7-12700 or AMD Ryzen 7 5800X with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 or AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT. The devs also recommend using an SSD.
Sadly, Gearbox did not reveal the PC graphics settings, framerates and resolution these PC specs target. We also don’t know if these PC requirements are with DLSS/FSR enabled. After all, we’ve seen some devs including these upscalers in their PC specs.
It’s also worth noting that Borderlands 4 will be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. This shouldn’t come as a surprise. After all, Borderlands 3 also used it. The good news is that 2K Games has removed it from B3. So, my guess is that it will also remove it from Borderlands 4 one or two years after its release.
2K Games will release Borderlands 4 on September 12th.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
