Gearbox, the developers of Borderlands 4, have released the September 18 update patch. Since the game is still in its early release stage and players were facing several issues, the update was much needed.

Additionally, developers mentioned that the patch aims to improve stability on PC, smooth out progression, and also update the Glided Glory Pack loot and rewards. Instead of jumping directly into the game after installing the update, it is recommended to follow Gearbox’s instructions to restart your game to avoid matchmaking errors.

Here is a detailed article that outlines the official September 18 Update Patch Notes for BL4.
