Borderlandsreturns in 2025 viaBorderlands 4. It’s been six years since the last numbered entry in the series, a period during which we have had a relatively popular spinoff viaTiny Tina’s Wonderlands, and a wildly unpopular movie adaptation that everyone involved with it, and the series as a whole, is desperately trying to erase from history. A big new Borderlands game will certainly help do that, and there’s not long to go until we get one.
Borderlands 4 is so close that, after a lot of chatter about how much it’s going to cost - more on that in a second - pre-orders are finally open. There are multiple editions, a bonus for committing to the game before its release day, and no matter what platforms you own, if you’re a part of the current generation, there will be a way to play Borderlands 4.It arrives on Jul 18, 2025,and everything you need to know to ensure you’re among the first playing it when the big day arrives can be found below.
How To Pre-Order Borderlands 4
And What You’ll Get For Doing So Before Release Day
Let’s address the elephant in the room before we go any further. After all those controversial comments by Gearbox’s Randy Pitchford,Borderlands 4 isn’t going to cost $80 after all. AfterMario Kart World made the jump to $80and thenXbox followed suit via The Outer Worlds 2,Pitchford hinted Borderlands 4 might be an $80 game. An awkward back and forth,which included “real fans” of Borderlands doing whatever it takes to afford it new game, came after.
Turns out that was all for nothing asthe standard edition of Borderlands 4 is a $70 game. There are more expensive options that come with additional content, but that’s par for the course.The deluxe edition is $99.99, andthere’s a super deluxe edition for $129.99. You can check out what is and isn’t included in each edition via the table below. Best of all,the Bounty Pack Bundle, which is a pre-order bonus,will be included with all three editions of the game, provided you place your order before Borderlands 4 releases on September 12.

Borderlands 4 Is Coming To Nintendo Switch 2
Eventually
Those of you who were hoping to play Borderlands 4 onNintendo Switch 2might be wondering where the pre-order links are right about now. I noted that anyone with a current-gen platform will be able to play it, and that’s because2Khas promised that. However, the Switch 2 version will not be arriving on the same day as itsXbox,PlayStation, andPCcounterparts.
We don’t even have an exact release date for Borderlands 4 on Switch 2 yet. However, it is supposed to be here before the end of 2025, so, provided it isn’t delayed, the gap between the initial release date and its Switch 2 arrival shouldn’t be a long one. Gearbox is pretty excited about the Switch 2 version of its next Borderlands game,calling the title and the new console a perfect match, so we’re expecting good things.
