The minimum requirements include a 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 OS, an 8-core processor like an Intel Core i7-9700 or AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, 16 GB of RAM, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 or AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT with 8 GB VRAM, and 100 GB of storage on an SSD, which is mandatory to avoid slow load times.

Borderlands 4 will feature the largest map in the series, enhanced by improved movement mechanics such as double jumps, gliding, dashes, and a grappling hook. It supports cross-platform play via SHiFT accounts and offers dynamic co-op, allowing players to join or leave seamlessly. The game supports cross-play across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store), and NVIDIA GeForce NOW, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version planned later in 2025.
