    I wonder which one is going to end up with better graphics 😂

  2. Riomegon

    Why can’t a mobile tablet from 2016 hold up to the mighty power of the ChunkStation 5.. Damnit Nintendo!

  3. ---Scootaluigi---

    Very impressive considering the hardware, reminds me a lot of the Vita port of Borderlands 2. Except this one looks to be hitting a mostly stable 30fps right out of the box, BL2 Vita needed an overclock.

  4. devenbat

    Impressive port. Obviously not as good as PS5 but it looks quite solid. Especially for a game that struggled on last gen

  5. IntrinsicStarvation

    It’s not bad. Graphically the switches near lod textures are the biggest difference, the kind you don’t need a side by side for. Par for the course. The lower poly didn’t stand out to me that much, mostly changed rock piles.

    But God damn is the fov zoomed in on switch.

  6. karnyboy

    I don’t know why people compare the two? The Switch is just obviously always going to lose in the graphics department especially when compared to PS5…this is redundant.

  7. Bootychomper23

    It looks like we got another miracle port ladies

  8. Why are we comparing the Switch to the PS5? *Of course* the PS5 is more graphically proficient. I hope no one is honestly expecting that the Switch for all its impressive capabilities can hope to measure up…and that’s not a good or bad thing. It’s just a fact.

  9. BollyWood401

    It runs great! With a stable framerate.

  10. lokisbane

    Most importantly, are there motion controls?

  11. MarcsterS

    Its basically a Borderlands 1 port of 3. Comic book artstyle doing its job.

  12. IGofastEatass

    It’s better than I thought it would be.

  13. Fil8pos150

    And Konami tries to i deceive us with the idea that mgs games from ps2/3 cant run with 60fps on switch. When this exists.

  14. jexdiel321

    Does anyone know if this supports crossplay and crosssaves? Planning to buy this for my SO so she can play this on the Switch and me on PS5.

  15. fcuk_the_king

    Damn, that’s a really impressive port. Going to wait for the inevitable discount but that’s some good work to bring this game to the Switch.

  16. Do we know if the full game is on cart? I want to pickup but unsure of it is

  17. Majorrickyloc

    Oh boy I can’t wait to play Boarderlan-

    *60 TERABYTE UPDATE REQUIRED*

  18. Alasdair91

    Impressive given the gulf in power difference. Sometimes I even prefer the way the Switch displays textures on the ground, as the PS5 ones sometimes look a bit washed out and flat.

  19. JuThrone

    To be honest this port is better than what was expected, they did a great job, also in terms of file size which I heard is now 23GB including DLC

  20. Desperate-Pen5086

    Impressive, very nice.

    Now let’s see performance on mayhem 10 with events ON

  21. The PS5 is obviously the better looking version, but honestly, I kinda like the way the Switch version looks. Can’t really explain why, maybe its because as others have said, it looks like BL1 a bit but I like it.

  22. Diuranos

    B**orderlands** 1& 2 on Switch Yea go but 3 game big no too much was cut but there is a hope hope in Nintendo Switch 2.

  23. NZepplin

    Obviously the ps5 version will run and look better that’s obvious

  24. Ricicotroll

    i don’t get the point of these comparisson like no shit a new gen consoles looks better than a 2017 portable nintendo console, why even bother, they should focus on the games that somehow look incredible on the switch instead of doing this

  25. BillySaw

    Not bad if it runs at a stable frame rate. Borderlands is one of those games that doesn’t take a huge hit graphically on lowerend systems. The PS5 is obviously light years ahead but the style does lend itself well to lower graphic settings.

  26. TheFreakingBatman

    BL3 ran like total shit on my Xbox One, hard for me to imagine it’ll be very fun to play on Switch.

  27. chrispykinsley

    It’s nice that the switch version looks as good as it does but that is being carried by art direction for sure. The artstyle lends itself to less graphically strong systems

  28. My_Bwana

    Pretty wild to see these side by side. Makes borderlands 3 on ps5 look like an artistic wonder.

    Switch could really use a hardware refresh

  29. Chris_P_Lettuce

    Kinda looks more like BL2, which is in most ways a downgrade, but an upgrade for me who likes BL2 more.

  30. Hestu951

    It looks sharper and more detailed on the PS5, and runs at a locked 60 fps.

    Anyone surprised?

    Considering the Switch is, well, the Switch, I think the port of this game looks phenomenal. Digestible size for SD cards too, at 9-18 GB (according to SwitchUp).

  31. Faded_Sun

    Why would you even compare the Switch version to PS5 haha. It’s obvious which will perform, and look better.

  32. montybo2

    Wow I’m actually impressed. Performance looks stable on switch. Was not expecting that. Not gonna buy it but impressed either way.

  33. BobSagieBauls

    Love the game but I already maxed out all the classes and got the platinum so not really trying to play it again even it it ran perfect on the switch. Just give us BL4

  34. Trumpassassin777

    This is like comparing an e-bike to a monster truck.

  35. Spazza42

    Mmm, yes. The 340w PS5 looks and runs better than the 7 watt portable console.

    *shocked Pikachu face*

  36. CaseyIsSheep

    This switch port of Borderlands 3 kinda feels like the Borderlands 2 port to vita that came out not too long ago

  37. Mdreezy_

    Honestly doesn’t look bad on switch. Probably has a lot to do with the art style

  38. superjoho

    I actually prefer the simple low res look of the switch on most games including this one. Reminds me of the Dreamcast era

  39. Gaemfreak

    I’m gonna need to see something from the later parts of the game. Because devs love to optimize the beginning areas and then leave the rest of the game to rot in performance hell. If the entire game is like this then it’s definitely impressive.

  40. PuzzleheadedLeave787

    I love and enjoy my switch but any game…compared to PS5, isn’t even a contender. I say PS5,hands down.
