Gearbox has officially revealed the system requirements for Borderlands 4 on PC. The game is demanding but in line with other big AAA releases launching in 2025, with an SSD and at least 8 GB VRAM required!
Here are the details, from minimum requirements, to the recommended setup!
Minimum Requirements
- OS: Windows 10 / Windows 11 (64-bit)
- Processor: Intel Core i7-9700 / AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (8 cores required)

Recommended Requirements
- OS: Windows 10 / Windows 11 (64-bit)
- Processor: Intel Core i7-12700 / AMD Ryzen 7 5800X

What This Means for Players
Borderlands 4 is setting a pretty high bar for PC players. First off, an SSD is mandatory, traditional HDDs simply won’t cut it. That means anyone still running their library off older hard drives will need to upgrade if they want to jump into Kairos on day one.
Even at the minimum settings, the game requires 16 GB of RAM and a modern graphics card with at least 8 GB of VRAM. That is a step above many older titles and shows just how heavy the new engine and visuals are expected to be.
For players looking to enjoy the game at its best, the recommended specs are where you will want to aim. With 32 GB of RAM and a GPU like the RTX 3080 or RX 6800 XT, you will be ready to push higher settings and maintain smooth performance above 60 FPS.
