Borderlands 4’s Latest Update Finally Brings FOV Slider to Consoles

Borderlands 4 has received a new update, and this one is a significant step forward for console players. The latest 11GB patch introduces a long-awaited feature that many felt should have been present at launch: a field of view slider for PlayStation and Xbox versions of the game. Gearbox confirmed earlier this year that the team was “exploring” the option, and after months of requests from fans, console players can finally adjust their view settings to match PC users.

While this update is headlined by the FOV slider, Gearbox also rolled out a range of fixes and improvements aimed at smoothing out performance across all platforms. Players on PC and consoles can expect refinements to stability, UI updates, audio tweaks, and visual adjustments. Weekly Activities have also been expanded, with new progression and reward systems making in-game events more rewarding for those sticking with the looter-shooter.

Gearbox acknowledged that changing the field of view on consoles could impact performance, and patch notes include a reminder that players may notice framerate dips when pushing the slider to its extremes. Still, the tradeoff gives console players more control over how they experience the game, something that has been requested since launch.

Borderlands 4 had a rocky release earlier this year, with stability issues and missing features dampening enthusiasm for what many still regard as one of the strongest entries in the series. PC users were hit particularly hard by crashes and GPU-related errors, while console players faced the unusual omission of an FOV slider. Gearbox has been steadily issuing patches since then to address these problems. The previous update, released on September 18, focused on crash fixes and loot adjustments, targeting stability issues tied to animation states, audio, and collision errors.

This new patch builds on that foundation by tackling broader quality-of-life changes while also addressing performance complaints. According to early impressions, the update appears to be paying off. James Lucas, TheGamer’s Borderlands 4 reviewer, noted that performance feels much smoother on PC after applying the patch.

The rollout underscores Gearbox’s commitment to actively refining Borderlands 4 through consistent updates. While some criticism remains over the state of the game at launch, the developer is continuing to act on community feedback with tangible results. Between performance improvements and long-requested features like the FOV slider, Borderlands 4 is gradually evolving into the game that fans wanted it to be from the start.

Players eager for the full breakdown of changes can check Gearbox’s detailed patch notes, but the highlights make it clear that console players are finally being brought closer to feature parity with their PC counterparts. With an improved field of view and more polished performance, Borderlands 4 is moving toward stability while laying the groundwork for future content updates.
