Adventure Awaits in... Borderlands 4!

From Pandora to Erebus, the Borderlands legacy continues with fresh chaos!

It’s been a long, wild road for Vault Hunters everywhere. From the original Borderlands that redefined the looter-shooter genre, to Borderlands 2’s unforgettable villains and co-op chaos, to Borderlands 3 pushing the formula to new heights — the journey’s been nothing short of mayhem and fun! If you haven't played Borderlands 3, you can stream it free right now!

Now, Borderlands 4 is here… and it’s vault hunting time! Before we go any deeper, check this out — here’s a look at Borderlands 4 in action.





Explosions, loot drops, and pure chaos — just how we like it.

 A New Chapter of Chaos 

Borderlands 4 takes the action to Erebus, a planet drenched in neon lights, mystery, and the kind of gunfights that you want to partake in with your favorite people.

The cel-shaded style we know and love shines brighter than ever under Unreal Engine 5, and the gameplay has leveled up across the board. You’ll run, wall-hop, grapple, and slide through explosive firefights while discovering weapons that literally adapt to your fighting style.

Whether you’re returning to the Borderlands universe or jumping in for the first time, Borderlands 4 hits that mix of humor, chaos, and fun.

 Vault Hunter Life Never Looked (or Played) Better 

The cast of Vault Hunters is stacked with new personalities and powers that encourage experimentation and creativity. Every skill tree feels more dynamic, every weapon more unpredictable — and with smarter enemies, you’ll actually need to strategize on the fly.

Oh, and that loot? It’s next-level. Adaptive modifiers, multi-element weapons, and gear that changes mid-fight mean no two sessions ever play the same.

 Crossplay and Mayhem with Friends 

Whether or not Borderlands 4 is the “rebirth” you were hoping for, there’s adventure to be had. So grab a friend, family member, or that one buddy who swears they’re “done with shooters,” and dive into some crossplay mayhem across platforms.

Gearbox has made teaming up easier than ever — whether you’re on PC (Epic + Steam), PlayStation, or Xbox, everyone can join the madness together. Nintendo Switch 2 owners will join the part at the end of December 2025.

 How to Enable Crossplay 

  1. Launch Borderlands 4 and head to the Main Menu.

  2. Select Options, then navigate to the Network & Social tab.

  3. Look for the Crossplay option and toggle it ON.

  4. You’ll be prompted to set up or sign in to your SHiFT account (if you haven’t already).

  5. Once connected, add your friends via SHiFT Friend Codes or link your accounts through the in-game social menu.

And that’s it — you’re ready to jump in, team up, and loot everything that’s not bolted down.

So whether you’re chasing epic gear, unraveling the secrets of Erebus, or just out to make things explode in the most creative ways possible… adventure truly awaits in Borderlands 4.

I’ll see ya out there, Vault Hunters. [Rides away on an eccentric giraffe that loves pineapples.]
