Borderlands 3

Released: 2019 — API: DirectX 11 — Engine: Unreal Engine 4

One of 2019's most anticipated entries, Borderlands 3 is a wickedly entertaining action-adventure FPS with RPG elements that have a very unique graphics style thanks to the distinctive cell-shaded aesthetic. Its two key themes are mayhem and loot to improve your character's equipment. Its story involves an interplanetary power struggle. New skill trees, procedurally generated loot, and modern gameplay mechanics work to make this as addictive an RPG as it is fun as an FPS.

Borderlands 3 is brought to life with Unreal Engine 4, which takes advantage of DirectX 12 and Direct X 11 with some AMD-specific features, such as FidelityFX. In our testing, we used DirectX 11 because the DirectX 12 renderer has extremely long loading times and some instability. As of 2021, these issues are still not properly fixed, so we're still testing with DirectX 11.
