Borderlands 4 Release Bumped Up; GTA VI Speculation Swirls
/
Gearbox Software has announced that Borderlands 4 will now launch earlier than expected, shifting its release date from September 23 to September 12, 2025.
Borderlands 4 Will Be Featured in PlayStation State of Play
Alongside the updated launch date, Gearbox confirmed that Borderlands 4 will be the focus of an upcoming PlayStation State of Play broadcast on April 30 at 5 PM ET. The presentation is expected to run for 20 minutes and will showcase a fresh look at weapons, abilities, missions, and more.
Avoiding GTA VI’s Blast Zone?
Following the announcement, some fans and industry watchers are speculating that the change might be a strategic move by both 2K Games and Gearbox Software to avoid clashing with the long-awaited release of Grand Theft Auto VI. While GTA VI is still officially set for a 2025 release, many believe Rockstar may be targeting a Fall window—possibly late September or early October.
With just one trailer shown and no follow-up announcement as of May, a Fall release seems increasingly likely. If we had to guess, sometime in October would be ideal for Take-Two Interactive to give Borderlands 4 a good enough gap before the big one arrives.
Considering Gearbox and Rockstar both fall under the Take-Two Interactive umbrella, this kind of internal coordination wouldn’t be too far-fetched.
Platforms and Switch 2 Release
Borderlands 4 will release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. A Switch 2 version is also planned, though it’s expected to arrive at a later date.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach delivers higher visual fidelity, consistent performance across the board, and a few new tricks that make gameplay more accessible, challenging, and fun. If you have the patience and come in with an open mind, you’ll be in an exclusive group of people who will struggle to describe this experience to anyone else.
