The upcoming Borderlands 3 has received a handy list of specs from developer Gearbox Software in the form of a single, easy to use snapshot of minimum specs as well as the optimal way to play their latest entry into the gun-heavy Borderlands series. With the game set to release across Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC via the Epic Games Store on September 13th, 2019, if you are playing on PC you may want to double check to make sure your trip into Pandora isn’t a bumpy one.
Although the picture below does include a very accessible way to review the minimum and recommended equipment needed for Borderlands 3, developer Gearbox has posted the full list of information on their website, which we have included below as well. It’s also worth noting that the game will be on Google Stadia when that service launches later this year and will allow PC players to enjoy the game regardless of their system’s specifications. The only thing needed is a solid Internet connection.
