Borderlands 4 CEO: “Code your own engine and show us how it’s done please” — as performance woes hit the game’s Steam review score.

As a researcher, I always raise an eyebrow when a game limits reviews to just one platform, and it felt significant that review copies of Borderlands 4 were only initially available for PC. While the game runs okay on Xbox Series X, I found the narrow field of view and the poor, stuttering performance in the quality mode to be quite disappointing. However, the issues seem even more pronounced on the PC version.
