Borderlands 3 is one among several current generation (or previous now) games that have received enhanced releases for the newer consoles. Up until now, all the marketing for the game has touted 4K and 60 FPS gameplay, but it seems the game actually allows you to significantly increase the frame rate, which is something that neither Gearbox nor 2K have made any official mention of in the lead-up to Borderlands 3’s next-gen version’s launch.

As discovered by a ResetEra user, on the PS5 and Xbox Series X, Borderlands 3’s Performance Mode allows for 120 FPS gameplay, with the resolution being knocked down to 1080p- though I’m sure that’s a sacrifice that many will make happily for such a boost in performance. The resolution mode, meanwhile, runs at the aforementioned 4K and 60 frames per second.

Borderlands 3 is currently available on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, Xbox One, PS4, PC, and Stadia. The game’s second season recently kicked off, bringing with it a new wave of content- read more on that through here.
