Gearbox Software’s next major release in their acclaimed FPS series, Borderlands 4, is set to arrive in September 2025. Pre-orders are now active across all platforms, offering fans early access to exclusive digital items. Contrary to earlier speculation about a price increase, the title maintains the standard $70 base cost while introducing premium editions with expanded content.
The game marks a technical leap as the franchise’s first Unreal Engine 5 title, abandoning legacy console support. Players can expect native releases for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2. System requirements suggest optimized performance across varied hardware configurations.
Launch Details and Platform Availability
Scheduled for September 12, 2025, this installment introduces full cross-platform compatibility at launch. The Nintendo Switch 2 version represents a milestone as one of the first AAA third-party titles designed natively for the system. No tiered access programs or early play incentives accompany pre-orders.
