Overview

• Gearbox released a PC update it says improves stability for many systems, though it provided virtually no detailed patch notes.
• CEO Randy Pitchford called some players "4K stubborn," described the game as "pretty damn optimal," and told users to lower resolution or use DLSS.
• Pitchford argued only a very small fraction of users face real issues, a claim at odds with widespread reports and benchmarking across varied hardware.
• Independent tests show inconsistent performance, including high‑end GPUs struggling at native 4K, while Gearbox reposted optimization guides for Nvidia and AMD.
• Despite technical complaints and a "Mixed" Steam user rating, the game posted over 300,000 concurrent Steam players and strong critic scores on PC.
