Those playing throughBorderlands 3on consoles don’t appear to be running into the missing save data issue that is plaguing some PC players. However, as previously mentioned,Borderlands 3console players have their own issues to deal with. One of the most significant is theBorderlands 3split-screen lag, which significantly impacts performance when one player is in the menus.
2K Games has said that it is working to better optimizeBorderlands 3, but no official update has been announced or detailed just yet.

We also don’t know when the split-screen lag and otherBorderlands 3console issues will be fixed either.
It’s also worth mentioning that sinceBorderlands 3is a timed-Epic Store exclusive, the lost save data may actually be more the fault of Epic Games than 2K Games.
