Gearbox Software has shared its inaugural community update for Borderlands 4, following the game’s successful release. The studio expressed appreciation to fans, with early sales data indicating over two million copies moved globally—translating to $150M+ in earnings. In-game achievements include 764M gear pieces collected, 65M kilometers traversed, and 55M boss eliminations amid 7M failed attempts.

Addressing player concerns, the team prioritized technical improvements. PC optimization and crash fixes dominate their workflow, with patches deployed over the weekend and another slated for Thursday. Console-specific enhancements, including FOV customization, are undergoing internal trials for imminent release.

Our teams are actively reviewing player submissions. Key adjustments underway:

• PC stability remains our main focus. Recent patches tackled critical issues, with additional optimizations arriving this week.
• Console FOV sliders are in final testing phases. We’re analyzing performance reports across platforms to resolve discrepancies.

These efforts contrast with earlier statements from Gearbox leadership regarding technical polish. The studio reaffirmed its dedication to improving the experience, teasing four Bounty Packs, two narrative expansions, and regular free content drops for the coming year.

Additionally, a limited-time SHiFT code unlocks:

• 1 exclusive character cosmetic for Vex, Rafa, Amon, and Harlowe
• 1 Legendary Ripper Shield (auto-adjusts to player level, starting at Lvl 25) via Inventory’s Reward Center
• 2 drone skins: “Break Free” and “Kn0x” for ECHO-4 companions
