Crash land onto Kairos and take on the oppressive Timekeeper with four all-new Vault Hunters, billions of weapons, and brand new traversal mechanics 

September 12, 2025 – Today, 2K and Gearbox Software announced that Borderlands®4, the definitive looter-shooter and latest entry in the genre-defining Borderlands franchise, is now available worldwide for PlayStation®5 (PS5®), Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store. Borderlands 4 for Nintendo Switch™ 2 will be available on Friday, October 3, 2025. 

“On September 12, Borderlands 4 puts the mayhem back into the hands of the fans – the people who made Borderlands a worldwide phenomenon,” said Gearbox founder and president Randy Pitchford. “Borderlands has always been a wild ride we at Gearbox take with our fans, and with Borderlands 4 we’ve given everything we’ve got to make it the biggest and best game we have ever created.”

Across the vast and seamlessly connected planet of Kairos, players will face the oppressive Timekeeper. For thousands of years, he kept the planet hidden, controlling its inhabitants with cybernetic implants called Bolts and an army of synthetic soldiers known as The Order. 

Players will travel across the planet where they’ll encounter new and returning characters, creatures and inhabitants to battle, and unique factions spread across four distinct regions that seek freedom from tyranny. The friends discovered along the way will be recruited by players to their cause while enemies will experience first-hand the arsenal of weapons and abilities wielded by the Vault Hunters.

Borderlands 4 is the boldest Borderlands to date, lovingly handcrafted by the development studio that first forged the looter shooter genre. The title evolves the series’ gameplay and storytelling in new ways while delivering on the quintessential Borderlands experience fans know and love, including:

  • Intense action, badass Vault Hunters, and billions of wild and deadly weapons on an all-new planet ruled by a ruthless tyrant;
  • The deepest and most diverse Vault Hunter skill trees of any Borderlands title yet, giving players an unprecedented level of expression through their builds. Paired with the most expansive loot chase yet, players will have all the tools they need to seek out and perfect the build that best matches their style;
  • Players can seamlessly travel between zones and become immersed in a more dynamic world featuring events and discoverable side missions that encourage and reward exploration;
  • New traversal mechanics add to the exploration for loot and add new dimensions to combat. A Digirunner vehicle that can be summoned almost anywhere will have players racing across the beautiful vistas of Kairos in style;
  • Fight solo or in co-op with up to four players in this immense sci-fi adventure, packed with free-form combat and exploration, pulse-pounding boss fights, infinitely varied loot drops, and an eclectic cast of unforgettable characters new and old.

Borderlands 4 makes it easier than ever for friends to jump into co-op multiplayer with a new system for players to form parties online and stay together when switching game modes.* Designed for co-op from the ground up, Borderlands 4 features instanced loot for each player, dynamic level scaling, and individual difficulty to keep the party together and having fun through the whole campaign.

Additionally, players can look forward to a robust roadmap of free and paid post-launch content rolling out following the launch of Borderlands 4. More details can be found on www.borderlands.com.

Borderlands 4 offers three editions of the game: Standard Edition, Deluxe Edition, and Super Deluxe Edition

  • The Standard Edition includes the base game and is available for AUD$119.95 / NZD$129.95 on PlayStation®5 (PS5®), Xbox Series X|S, and for AUD$109.95 / NZD$119.95 on PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store.
