The official Epic Games Store page for Borderlands 3 has been updated, revealing that the game will be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. Now I’m pretty sure that this is something that will definitely displease a lot of Borderlands fans. Still, it’s good knowing prior to the game’s release that it will use this controversial anti-tamper tech.
Borderlands 3 is a game that a lot of gamers are looking forward to. However, 2K Games has done everything it can to dishearten its PC fans. The game will be initially exclusive on the Epic Games Store and it will also use a DRM that most PC gamers hate.
Given the fact that this is Borderlands 3 we’re talking about, it will be interesting to see how the cracking community will react. While a certain group claimed that it was able to crack the latest version of Denuvo, there are still a lot of uncracked games.
Naturally, and as you may have guessed, the game will also have cosmetic micro-transactions. Gearbox stated that there won’t be any pay to win mechanics, and that the microtransactions will focus on cosmetics. Still, this is another thing that will piss a number of gamers.
Borderlands 3 releases on September 13th. The game will feature a new pinging system and Gearbox stated that it may add support for cross-play platform. As such, cross-play won’t be available at launch.
Last but not least, Borderlands 3 promises to take full advantage of the most powerful PC hardware available. Gearbox has partnered with AMD so it may favour both AMD Radeon graphics cards and Ryzen CPUs. The game will also be one of the first that will support AMD’s new FidelityFX tech.

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
