""I know a lot of you are dead set on playing at 4k with ultra max settings and using two or three year old hardware," he wrote. "You do you, but BL4 and UE5 are doing a lot and for me that trade off for frames isn't worth it. I play at 1440p with settings super high and am super happy with that trade off--the game looks amazing at 1440p.""
"Pitchford also wrote about how he believes players to have unrealistic hopes for performance from older PC hardware; he characterized many complaints as originating from people who are attempting to run the game on several-year-old PC builds. In response to a comment from a person suggesting Gearbox "build [Borderlands 4] for the most common hardware in the first place," for instance, Pitchford wrote that "Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers.""
Borderlands 4 received decent critical reviews but prompted mixed reactions from the player community, with many users reporting bugs, poor frame rates, and leaving negative Steam reviews. Gearbox acknowledged some of the reported issues and said it is investigating performance problems. CEO Randy Pitchford attributed many complaints to unrealistic expectations for 4K performance on older PC hardware and advised players to try 1440p for better frame rates. Pitchford labeled some players "4K stubborn," recommended trading resolution for performance unless using a top-tier GPU, and described the title as aimed at premium gamers.
