NOTES: Borderlands 4 now has its graphics menu locked down on the Steam Deck/SteamOS, along with a new developer-configured graphics preset, which doesn’t seem to be mentioned in the patch notes. After testing the update for several hours, performance has definitely improved, and Gearbox has pledged further performance updates over the coming months, as detailed in the patch notes below.
