Recently, the PC configuration requirements for "Borderlands 4" have been announced. The official recommendation players to use CPUs with 8 cores or more, GPUs with more than 12GB of video memory and 32GB of memory.However, Steam's new hardware survey shows that about 50% of players' computer configurations do not meet the minimum requirements of "Borderlands 4".

According to the May Steam hardware survey, about 50.42% of users are still using a 6-core or lower core number processor, which means half of the players may not be able to run the game properly.

The economical entry-level processors on the market, such as the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X, have 6 core performance.However, upgrading to a processor above 8 cores will significantly increase the overall assembly cost, which is under great pressure for players with limited budgets.

"Borderlands 4" will use D encryption and Symbiote dual anti-theft encryption technology, which will occupy a large amount of system resources, which may be one of the reasons why the game has increased CPU requirements.

In addition, "Borderlands 4" is developed based on Unreal 5 engine and will face optimization challenges in terms of operational performance, and the flaws of Unreal 5 are well known.
