Borderlands 4 pre-orders open with smooth PC specs and cross-play support

Borderlands 4 is now up for pre-order. Gearbox Software has revealed the PC requirements. They’re lighter than expected for an Unreal Engine 5 game.

Fans were worried when Randy Pitchford delayed the pricing reveal. Some feared a price above £80. That’s not the case. The pricing is standard.

The game runs on Unreal Engine 5. It features the biggest open world in the series. But the specs are still manageable.

Borderlands 4 PC requirements

Spec Type	Minimum Requirements	Recommended Requirements
OS	Windows 10 / 11	Windows 10 / 11
Processor	Intel Core i7-9700 / AMD Ryzen 7 2700X	Intel Core i7-12700 / AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
Memory (RAM)	16 GB	32 GB
Graphics Card	NVIDIA RTX 2070 / AMD RX 5700 XT	NVIDIA RTX 3080 / AMD RX 6800 XT
Storage	100 GB SSD required	100 GB SSD required
Notes	8 CPU cores, 8 GB VRAM needed	8+ CPU cores, 12+ GB VRAM needed

For a next-gen title, these specs are fair. Other Unreal Engine 5 games ask for more. The world is seamless. No loading screens. If you see it, you can go there. Movement is faster. You can dodge, glide, and grapple. No double jump, though.
