After six years, a couple of spin-offs, and a not-so-great movie, Borderlands 4 is finally here. While it might look like just another Borderlands game at first glance, there are a lot of big changes that'll keep even series veterans like me on their toes.
Of course, the most notable change is the shift to a fully open world structure, with several biomes to explore, each with quests, activities, bosses, and guns to loot. Lots and lots of guns is one thing that'll never change. Our Borderlands 4 guide will get you up to speed with everything you need to know to get started on Kairos.

Borderlands 4 system requirements
The original Borderlands 4 minimum system requirements stated the game required at least 8 CPU cores, and we speculated something was up with the original figure and that wouldn't be the case. A 2K rep confirmed the specification was an error on Steam, but we haven't seen that reflected in its updated recommendations. Here's what we're working with for now:
