"It seems Gearbox's decision to make a more grounded game with Borderlands 4, and step away from referential humour and internet slang has worked in its favour. Over on Steam, the game peaked at 207,479 concurrent players (via SteamDB) just hours after it went live. Considering some of the launch times, and the fact it wasn't out on consoles at that time, there's every chance the weekend will give these numbers a boost."
"It doesn't seem like everyone is happy with the game, however. Judging by its current Steam user review rating of Mixed (based on 5,435 reviews), only 62% had positive things to say about the co-op loot shooter. While some of the negative reviews touch on narrative and gameplay content, the vast majority lament the game's technical state. Borderlands 4's long (and frequent) shader compilation pauses come up several times, as do your typical Unreal Engine navigational stutter."
Borderlands 4 launched early for some players and reached a peak of 207,479 concurrent players on Steam shortly after release. The peak surpassed every previous Borderlands title, with Borderlands 2 as the closest contender at 124,678 concurrent players. The game entered Steam's top five most played and became the platform's number one best-seller worldwide. Steam user reviews remain Mixed, with 62% positive from 5,435 reviews. Many negative reviews cite technical problems, notably long, frequent shader compilation pauses and Unreal Engine navigational stutter. Performance issues have become a major talking point and a deterrent for some players.
