Amazon has begun offering early Black Friday 2025 discounts on video games, including Borderlands 4 for PS5, Xbox Series X, and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 port. Originally released in September for $70, Borderlands 4 is now priced at $48 for both PS5 and Xbox Series X. The Nintendo Switch 2 version, which was delayed from its initial October launch to allow additional polish, is available for preorder at $55. Preorder customers will only be charged when the game ships.
Gameplay and Setting Updates in Borderlands 4
Borderlands 4 moves the franchise to a new world, Kairos, giving players the freedom to explore and engage with new challenges. Players select from four unique Vault Hunters and focus on upgrading their skills while collecting increasingly powerful weapons and gear. The game builds on the core formula established in previous Borderlands entries, with refined mechanics and additional quality-of-life features aimed at improving the overall experience.
Since launch, Gearbox has released several updates and balance patches, alongside weekly hotfixes. The developer has announced ongoing post-launch content, including both free and paid downloadable content (DLC). The first DLC, scheduled for November 20, introduces new missions, enemies, and legendary gear. Endgame content is also planned for later in the year, featuring a challenging encounter with the boss Bloomreaper the Invincible.
