As a dedicated gamer, I was skeptical about diving into Borderlands 4 on the Steam Deck given its demanding PC requirements. I had hoped it might be playable, albeit with significant upscaling. However, even cranking down every setting to the absolute minimum with Ultra Performance upscaling, the game barely managed frame rates between 6 and 20 fps. In moments of non-combat, I observed frames reaching up to 25fps, but combat performance was less impressive, ranging from 14 to 20 fps at best.

On the positive side, Borderlands 4 does offer 16:10 support, HDR on Steam Deck OLED, and a clear, readable UI with an accessible on-screen keyboard for text entry. Yet, the performance leaves much to be desired and is far from satisfactory.

In the ongoing competition for supremacy in music streaming, YouTube Music consistently holds a distinctive advantage. With a Premium subscription, viewers can enjoy an ad-free experience across YouTube’s vast video library, as well as access to an ad-free version of YouTube Music that boasts a song catalog comparable to that of Spotify and Apple Music.

In the newest addition to Gearbox’s looter-shooter series, players delve into the perilous world of Kairos, a planet governed by a tyrant called the Timekeeper. The four main characters in Borderlands 4 are Vex, Rafa, Amon, and Harlowe, each with distinctive abilities that are showcased in the trailer as they strive to overthrow the rule of the oppressive Timekeeper.

Even before a formal release, it appears that studios are expressing interest in Naughty Dog and their upcoming project Intergalactic, as stated by Neil Druckmann during an interview with Variety. He mentioned that various studios have approached them based on the hype generated from the trailer alone, adding that these studios don’t know much about the game itself.

To truly grasp the appeal and complexity of the cube, it’s essential to observe it functioning. If you’re considering expanding your collection with the Pulse, I strongly recommend watching the video below for a captivating demonstration.
