Borderlands 4 Release Times Revealed, Here’s Exactly When You Can Start Playing

Borderlands 4^[1]‘s release on September 12 is right around the corner, and ahead of the game’s long-awaited debut, Gearbox Software has published the game’s official launch times. To get up to speed quickly, the game unlocks at 9 AM PT on September 11, which works out to midnight Eastern on September 12. You can see more global launch times below.

The PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC editions are coming first, with the Switch 2 version of Borderlands 4 landing on October 3. In fact, Borderlands 4 was originally set to launch on September 23 before the date was brought forward for the non-Nintendo versions.

Borderlands 4 will cost $70 when it launches, which is notable because there was a period of time when Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford claimed he did not know the price, prompting fears that it could be $80. Pitchford stoked the conversation around pricing by saying “real fans” would find a way to come up with $80 if that was the case.^[6]

Pitchford is so confident in Borderlands 4’s pricing strategy that he recently said he believes the game would be “worth it” at five times the price of entry.^[7]

While the standard edition is priced at $70, 2K and Gearbox are offering multiple more expensive editions of the game, including a $100 deluxe edition, a $130 super deluxe edition, and a $150 collector’s edition.
