With Borderlands 3 players complaining about poor performance during the first week of the game, Eurogamer's Digital Foundry analyzed frame rates at the console level, making "enigmatic technical decisions" while generating a global game.

Digital Foundry recommends that Borderlands 3 on Xbox One X in "resolution mode", which prefers a higher resolution than higher frame rates, "is the only one ... we can play a lot", because 1800p quality plays a Constant pace of 30 frames per second, while in performance mode, the game consistently drops below 60 frames per second, up to 40 frames per second in a vehicle.

On a PlayStation 4 Pro running Borderlands 3 in the same mode, the same performance issues also arise, but they are worse than Borderlands 3 Xbox One Key. In priority resolution mode, the Xbox One X is working. Frame rate decreases until the mid-1920s.

The biggest disappointment of the players regarding the performance of Borderlands 3 is the PC version, in which the forums, including those of Borderlands 2 on Steam, were lit with help requests and descriptions of stuttering images, despite all Game performance parameters. It may not be reassuring, but at least they are not, when Eurogamer technical gurus realize that the consoles do not work optimally.
