The UI was hilariously small, seeing text popups usually resulted in leaving a nose print on the TV. They would cause alarming stuttering and freezes rendering them useless when really needed. Opening up a menu, tabbing through your skills and UI, these were things we had to plan in advance. The graphical degradation was nauseating. Then there was the resolution and pop in and fogging issues. The FOV slider only exasperated us by either making things even harder to see or crushing the already pretty appalling frame rates. ![]() Playing the game in forced 32:9 windows just didn’t work. The lack of vertical split screen alienated us immediately. If you’re stuck inside this holiday season, why not introduce your loved ones to a little couch co-op mayhem in the Borderlands?” What I Said Last Year Vertical splitscreen for two-player local co-op is available from the get-go on next-gen consoles, and will also be added to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions via a free update. Xbox Series X and PS5 will display Borderlands 3 at up to 60fps in 4K resolution during single-player and online co-op, and the next-gen consoles will support three- and four-player splitscreen for local multiplayer. ![]() “The next-gen consoles bring a new level of graphical fidelity to the Borderlands universe, and Borderlands 3 is fully optimized to take advantage of their processing power. I was one of those lucky pre-order people and got a Series X delivered on launch day. The Next-Gen upgrade to Borderlands 3 changes everything, albeit you do need to upgrade the console to reap the rewards. Of course, Borderlands 3 is still a benchmark we use in all of our GPU reviews today. Either way, Halo MCC kept us entertained since.Ĭheck out my original performance testing and review of Borderlands 3 here, and our second test here. That was it, Borderlands 3 was dead to us and the issues we had with the game were not being addressed. ![]() I want to make it clear, we did around 20-30 hours of Borderlands 3 on the Xbox Series S last year, and we were so fed up with the issues, we simply gave up. Heck, it was Borderlands and couch co-op that led me to write my own editorial for Cooptimus many years ago, and later led to working at eTeknix! So, it’s safe to say that Borderlands has played a big part in my life. My partner and I were ecstatic, having put thousands of hours into the franchise up to that point and it couch co-op was then a cornerstone of our relationship and had been for some time. Around this time last year, we got to welcome Borderlands 3 into our home.
