Borderlands 3 PC Specs confirmed

The highly anticipated Borderlands 3 is just around the corner and with that Gearbox and 2K games have announced what you’ll need to make sure you can run the game on your computer. Luckily they seem to be fairly reasonable.

For the minimum requirements Gearbox calls for an AMD FX8350 or an Intel i5-3570, along with an AMD Radeon HD 7970 or Nvidia GeForce GTX 680, while recommending a AMD Ryzen 5 2600 or Intel i7-4770 and an AMD Radeon RX 590 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060. In addition to this, Gearbox has also stated that PC players will also be able to tweak a handful of options including field of view, ambient occlusion, and screen space reflections. Additionally, players are able to adjust things like the foliage detail, draw distance, character texture detail, and shadows, among many other things.

Borderlands 3 launches on September 13th for Xbox One, PS4 and PC, but will be exclusive to the Epic Game Store until April 2020 – which at that point it will release on Steam. You can check out the full specs below.
