Gearbox Software has announced that Borderlands 4 has officially gone gold, ensuring its highly anticipated release on September 12, 2025, will proceed as planned. This milestone marks the completion of the game’s primary development, with the title now ready for final production and distribution across platforms, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
Going gold signifies that Borderlands 4 has reached a stage where the core game is complete and polished, ready to be pressed onto discs and prepared for digital storefronts. Fans of the looter-shooter franchise can breathe easy knowing that the Vault Hunters’ next adventure is on track. Gearbox and publisher 2K have been tight-lipped about specific details, but teasers hint at new planets, expanded customization, and the series’ signature chaotic co-op gameplay.
The Borderlands series has long been celebrated for its vibrant art style, irreverent humor, and addictive gunplay. Borderlands 4 promises to build on this legacy with new Vault Hunters, a deeper narrative, and an arsenal of over-the-top weapons. While Gearbox has yet to reveal the full scope of the game’s story or cast, recent trailers showcased stunning visuals and a return to the franchise’s anarchic roots.
With the September 12 release date locked in, anticipation is building for what could be the biggest entry in the series yet. Fans can expect pre-order details, special editions, and potential beta announcements in the coming weeks as Gearbox ramps up promotion. For now, the studio’s achievement of going gold is a promising sign that Borderlands 4 is primed to deliver another explosive adventure.
In addition to its launch on major platforms, Borderlands 4 will also be available on the Nintendo Switch 2. However, Switch 2 players will need to wait slightly longer, as the port is scheduled for release on October 3, 2025, just under a month after the main release. This version is anticipated to be technically impressive, leveraging the unique capabilities of the Switch 2’s advanced graphics accelerator.
