Borderlands 4 Update Targets PC Crashes and Starts Weekly Rotations

Gearbox says stabilizing the PC version is its top priority, with console fixes and a console FOV slider in testing.

Overview

  • A September 18 PC patch addresses crashes tied to animation states, audio, collision checks, and GPU use, and fixes Reward Center and Gilded Glory preorder loot conflicts.
  • The update launches a weekly endgame cadence featuring a rotating Big Encore Boss, Wildcard Missions with guaranteed Legendary drops, and a moving Black Market Vending Machine.
  • Gearbox reiterated it is reading player feedback and has begun rolling out stability and performance updates, with more patches planned.
  • Console editions have not yet received equivalent fixes, and Gearbox is testing a field‑of‑view slider for PS5 and Xbox; Randy Pitchford advised PS5 Pro users to restart as a temporary workaround.
  • Independent benchmarks and user reports continue to cite stutter and poor 1% lows on PC, and the game remains Mixed on Steam despite record launch engagement.
