Borderlands 4 hasn't had it easy, but it plans to add a feature that should have already been included

Borderlands 4 has had a problematic launch, which many consider troubled, with over 21,000 reviews on Steam reflecting not-so-good feedback. The comments point to poor optimization and performance of the game, which has generated discontent among players. Although the version of Borderlands 4 for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S runs relatively well, it also has significant bugs and lacks a fundamental option: the field of view (FOV).

The FOV, something basic for good gameplay

The FOV is an essential feature that allows players to see more of their surroundings, and its absence has led many users to experience dizziness and discomfort during gameplay. The situation was so critical that Randy Pitchford, the CEO of Gearbox, conducted a poll on Twitter where 72.7% of voters considered the inclusion of FOV to be indispensable. In response to this overwhelming feedback, Pitchford has instructed the developers to implement this option on consoles and they have confirmed that they are working on updates to improve the overall performance of the game.

Despite the positive news about the arrival of the FOV, which has been well received by the community, many players have expressed their frustration with the state in which Borderlands 4 was launched, especially considering its price of 70 euros. This situation has led to various comments on social media, where it is criticized that the game did not meet expectations at its launch, leaving players hopeful but also concerned about future updates.

The promise to include FOV and improve performance does not yet have a specific release date, but the developers have assured that they will continue to listen to the community while working on these much-needed improvements.
