First Borderlands 3 Patch Released for PC/PS4/XO; Full Patch Notes Inside Including PC-Specific Notes

The very-first major Borderlands 3 patch has been rolled out for all platforms and we’ve got you covered with the full release notes.

This update contains the first batch of performance improvements alongside general fixes and adjustments, including PC-specific changes. For instance, the patch reduces the amount of texture streaming on PC when aiming down sights in order to improve performance. In addition, Gearbox has addressed an issue reported by various PC players that caused the focus from the mouse’s last known location to stick around when playing with a gamepad.

Unfortunately, the release notes for this update don’t mention a fix for the Xbox One X overheating issues that we reported on earlier.

We’ve included the full release notes down below:
