Borderlands 4: Release date and latest news

Better yet, we're being treated to a full PlayStation State of Play in Spring later this year which will go into detail about the Borderlands 4 gameplay and story.

Before then, though, it's time to read on to find out what you need to know about the Borderlands 4 release date and more. Skip to the end of the page to watch a couple of trailers!

When is the Borderlands 4 release date?

The Borderlands 4 release date is 23rd September 2025, Gearbox Entertainment has revealed.

This was revealed during the PlayStation State of Play broadcast in February 2025 and here's hoping the release date sticks its landing and the game doesn't get delayed at all.

Can I pre-order Borderlands 4?

No, Borderlands 4 is not available for pre-order at this moment.

If you want to keep track of it, you can wishlist it on Steam, the Microsoft Store or the PlayStaion Store.

There is also no information regarding pricing, any pre-order exclusives or different editions of the game.

Pre-order information will be revealed soon, possibly during the Borderlands 4 State of Play broadcast due to air this Spring.

When an announcement is made regarding pre-orders and the like, we will update this page with links for the best prices we can find for all versions of the game.

Which consoles and platforms can play Borderlands 4?

Borderlands 4 is coming to PS5, PC and Xbox Series X/S.

Years ago, Randy Pitchford took to X (formerly Twitter) to gush over Unreal Engine 5.

We can safely assume that this is the engine they will be using and as such, last-gen ports are most likely off of the table.

But with the rumoured specs of the next-gen Switch 2, Nintendo’s upcoming handheld could in theory handle it, so the list of consoles it might make an appearance on could grow.

If there is an official statement regarding this, we will of course update you as soon as we can.

Borderlands 4 gameplay and story details

We now know there are four new Vault hunters to play as on a completely new planet where, from the trailer it looks like all-out war is breaking out. Once again, and most importantly for Borderlands fans, there are plenty of new weapons on display and new mobility options to make the game feel faster than ever.

This time around, the big bad is a new threat, the ruthless tyrant Timekeeper, and you'll be tasked with taking him down solo or in a squad of up to four players.

We didn't learn much more from the incredibly stylish trailer. Still, it will no doubt feature the series' offbeat humour and the increased movement and vehicles should add an interesting dynamic to the game going forward.

We'll learn more about the game in its full gameplay reveal in a special PlayStation State of Play broadcast taking place this Spring.
