In a post on social media, the official Borderlands account revealed that a new Borderlands 4 update is being planned for next week and will incorporate a ton of fixes. Specifically, it was said that this patch will look to improve the game’s stability and performance, both of which have been the biggest problems that players have continued to voice as needing improvement. A specific release date for this update wasn’t given, but it’s likely to arrive on October 16th, as Thursdays tend to be when new patches for Borderlands 4 go out.
“Next week’s update will include a host of improvements to stability, performance, and some highly requested quality-of-life changes!” said the post in question.
