Borderlands 4.

Borderlands 4 is out today, and it's been very well received critically, at least by those sites who received pre-release code—a list that does not include PC Gamer.

Multiple Steam users report low frame rates and persistent stuttering, even at reduced graphical settings and on powerful hardware, and complaints about frequent crashes are also common.
