When is Borderlands 4 coming out and how will crossplay work across all platforms
The staggered launch times took some fans by surprise, especially considering that Gearbox had previously hinted at a simultaneous release across all platforms during the pre-order phase. This detail is particularly important due to the inclusion of crossplay, which allows players to join forces for cooperative gameplay regardless of the devices they’re using.
That being said, a similar situation had already occurred with Mafia: The Old Country, another title from 2K Games. While PC users enjoyed an earlier launch, the crossplay feature functioned seamlessly, allowing players on consoles to connect and play together without any difficulties. This indicates that, despite the different launch times, the gaming experience remains unified across platforms.
The game invites players to explore the thrilling new planet of Kairos, where they will face off against a formidable dictator known as the Timekeeper, along with his relentless army of robots. Prepare yourself for exhilarating combat scenarios, featuring a staggering variety of weapon types to choose from. The game promises an expansive open world devoid of loading screens, allowing for seamless exploration and immersive gameplay. Plus, you can team up with friends in cooperative mode, supporting up to four players for an even more dynamic experience.
According to the Global Release Times map shared by Gearbox, players can expect the game to launch on PC on September 11, 2025, at 7:00 PM Moscow time. Console enthusiasts will have to wait a bit longer, as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions will release at midnight—six hours after the PC version goes live.
Borderlands 4 is being developed for a wide range of platforms, including PC (available on Steam and the Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
Additionally, a full list of trophies and achievements that players can strive to unlock in Borderlands 4 has already surfaced online, generating excitement among the community.
On August 31, 2025, the developers also provided an exciting roadmap for Borderlands 4, outlining future updates and features that players can look forward to.
