What to Expect From Borderlands 4‘s Day One Patch?
Sadly, the day one patch for this game won’t be helpful if you are using an old PC. Meaning, if your PC specifications are not that great, you are bound to experience performance issues. And as confirmed by the CEO of Gearbox Software, the developers, the day one patch will feature some optimizations; however, it won’t make a difference for those having a potato PC.
Apart from the optimization, you can expect a few bug fixes and quality of life changes with the day-one patch. Long story short, you have to own a high-end PC to experience Borderlands 4 at its best. Otherwise, you will have to compromise on visual quality to achieve a higher performance on your PC.
