Gearbox's Borderlands 4 is now available at a 50% discount for PS5 and Xbox Series X, dropping the price to $35 from $70. This Black Friday deal, which started on November 27, 2025, applies to physical editions and has already seen stock issues at Amazon. The game, released on September 1, 2025, introduces a new setting on the planet Kairos with enhanced Vault Hunter gameplay.
Deal Overview
Borderlands 4, the latest entry in Gearbox's popular looter-shooter series, is seeing its first major discount just two months after launch. Available for PS5 and Xbox Series X physical copies, the game is priced at $35, a $35 savings from its $70 retail price. The deal emerged on November 27, 2025, first at GameStop and quickly matched by Amazon. However, Amazon's PS5 edition sold out once already, indicating high demand during the Black Friday sales period.
Game Background
Unlike previous titles primarily set on Pandora, Borderlands 4 shifts the action to the chaotic world of Kairos, where players battle the forces of the Timekeeper. The core formula remains: choose from four unique Vault Hunters, level up skills, and collect powerful weapons and gear. Gearbox has refined the gameplay with quality-of-life improvements since the September 1, 2025, release on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.
Platform-Specific Details
For Nintendo Switch 2, Borderlands 4 is available for preorder at $55 (down from $70), but its release was delayed indefinitely from an initial October 3, 2025, date to allow for further polishing. This version uses a Game-Key Card, requiring a download from the eShop.
Post-Launch Support
Since launch, Gearbox has issued updates, balance patches, and weekly hotfixes. The first DLC arrived on November 20, 2025, adding new missions, enemies, and legendary gear. Endgame content, including a challenging boss called Bloomreaper the Invincible, is slated for later in the year, with both free and paid expansions planned.
