Playing Borderlands 4 on a PC with the right requirements is likely going to be the best place to get the best graphical quality and performance when compared to consoles.
Luckily, games these days are expected to have crossplay, so you don’t even need to force yourself to play on console with friends. All future content within the game can be accessed at your desk without any issue, provided your setup can run it.
While the ceiling on AAA games being played on a PC is higher, there is also a lot more room for something to go wrong. In many cases where that happens, it has to do with players trying to run a game on hardware that just can’t handle it. Here are the minimum and recommended specs to play Borderlands 4 on PC.
