Borderlands 4 has solely been out for just a few hours, but it surely has already grow to be probably the most profitable sport within the collection based mostly on its Steam participant numbers.
In keeping with SteamDB, Borderlands 4 has already achieved over 200,000 peak concurrent gamers, surpassing the franchise’s earlier Steam file by a substantial margin.
Earlier than it clinched the highest spot, the rankings have been:
- Borderlands 2 – 124,678 (22 September 2012)
- Borderlands 3 – 93,820 (15 March 2020)
- Borderlands (authentic GOTY) – 23,655 (28 July 2012)
200,000 is a fairly stable opening quantity, and that can most likely climb as we hit the weekend and extra gamers have free time. Thoughts you, it’s inferior to the lately launched Hole Knight: Silksong, which managed nicely over double what Borderlands 4 did.
However whereas the numbers are good, the person evaluations are portray a distinct story as a result of Borderlands 4 is yet one more triple-A title that has launched with severe points. On the time of writing, it holds a “combined” ranking on Steam.
In keeping with the person evaluations, efficiency woes are the largest drawback proper now. Even customers on high-end {hardware} are reporting stuttering and low framerates. Different persons are reporting being unable to progress previous the beginning display screen, crashes and different errors.
In different phrases, it’s yet one more large launch that’s in dire want of updates. You would possibly wish to maintain off shopping for it till Gearbox have put out just a few patches. I’m not taking my very own recommendation, although, as a result of I’m an fool who desires to evaluate it, so I’m leaping in and hoping for one of the best.
