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

Borderlands 4’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.

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.

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.
