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