Borderlands 4 is almost here, and fans won’t have to wait long to start downloading it. The game’s pre-load goes live on September 10, just two days before launch, and the file size is surprisingly small—at least for console players.
Borderlands 4 keeps file size light on consoles
According to trusted tracker PlayStation Game Size, the download size for Borderlands 4 is 28.1 GB on PlayStation and 29.5 GB on Xbox. PC players, however, will need a bigger chunk of storage, with the install weighing in at around 65 GB.
That means console players might not even need to clear much space, which is rare for a blockbuster looter-shooter. The optimization from Gearbox has left fans pleasantly surprised.
