Gearbox Software is back with another entry in their long-running looter shooter series, this time with Borderlands 4, promising to be the biggest title in the franchise so far. Like previous games, Borderlands 4 is developed on Unreal Engine, this time on Unreal Engine 5, and comes with all its bells and whistles.

As usual, you can create multiple characters in Borderlands 4 and enjoy individual campaigns for each. It’s a pretty robust system, especially if you’re planning to play with friends using a different character and want to keep your single-player adventure separate.
Borderlands 4 Steam Features
Borderlands 4 supports Steam Cloud, which means you can access your progress on a different device as long as your Steam account is logged into it. It also comes with the following features exclusive to the Steam client:
- Steam Family Sharing: If you own a copy of Borderlands 4, members of your Steam family can access it in their libraries.
- Steam Input: While the game has native support for multiple controllers, you can always use Steam Input to get third-party controllers to work without a hassle.
It is not verified for the Steam Deck, and you shouldn’t expect it to run well at all, especially since it uses ray-tracing features by default and is a fairly demanding title. It’s not the most scalable game, so lower-end GPUs will have a hard time maintaining a stable framerate, especially with all the explosions on-screen.
Based on initial impressions, Borderlands 4 is indeed an Unreal Engine 5 game, so you can expect high visual fidelity, stutters when you load into a new zone, and you will need a decent system paired with upscaling and potentially frame generation to get solid performance.
