Borderlands 4 has officially revealed its pricing and special editions ahead of its September launch, with the standard edition staying below the controversial $80 threshold. While Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford previously stirred debate by suggesting true fans would pay premium prices, Take-Two Interactive has confirmed the base game will retail for $70, though regional and platform variations apply.
The standard edition starts at £59.99 on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, while console players on Xbox Series X/S and PS5 will pay £69.99. For those looking for extra content, the Deluxe Edition (£89.99) bundles the game with the Bounty Pack, featuring four DLC expansions, Vault Cards for additional challenges, exclusive gear, vehicles, and cosmetic items.
Stepping up, the Super Deluxe Edition (£119.99) throws in even more, including the Ornate Order Pack with unique skins and customization options, plus the Vault Hunter Pack, adding two story expansions, new playable characters, missions, and map areas. While the higher tiers cater to dedicated fans, the standard edition remains accessible, avoiding the steep $80 mark Pitchford once hinted at.
Borderlands 4 launches September 12 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Meanwhile, the franchise’s legacy continues to intrigue, with efforts to revive a lost Borderlands MMO capturing the attention of preservationists and longtime followers alike. Whether opting for the base game or splurging on premium bundles, players won’t have to break Pitchford’s arbitrary “real fan” benchmark to join the chaos this fall.
