Borderlands 3 Update 1.29 Patch Notes | Borderlands 3 August 18 Patch Notes:

Size: 30MB (PC)

Update: According to Sheriff Pirek, who is one of the main admins in the Borderlands Discord channel, this patch was for Steam Deck peformance.

Unfortunately, Gearbox has not revealed anything regarding today’s title update. However, given the size, and the recent patches released for the other Borderlands titles, we wouldn’t be surprised if this patch was to implement ads into the game.

Someone on Reddit said that this patch affected the Black Market Shop, though we can’t verify that.

We’re keeping an eye out for the community and Gearbox, and if we hear anything regarding the patch, we’ll update the post. If you spot any gameplay or technical changes, leave a comment below and let us know what you find. 

Hopefully, this patch wont bring in any game-breaking issues like the latest patches released for the older Borderlands games when they were patched last month.
