Key Takeaways:
- Borderlands 4 is 20% off on PlayStation and Xbox until Oct. 22, 2025, priced at $55.99.

- New post-launch content, including Horror of Kairos and Bloomreaper DLC, begins rolling out later this month.
Borderlands 4 Gets Its First Major Discount
Just a month after launch, Borderlands 4 is already seeing its first big price cut. The game is 20% off on the PlayStation Store and Xbox Store, bringing the price down from $69.99 to $55.99 until October 22, 2025, at 11:59 PM PDT. The limited-time sale marks an unusually early discount for a Borderlands title, given the franchise’s history of holding firm on pricing post-launch.
Released on September 11, 2025, Borderlands 4 launched on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC via the Epic Games Store and Steam. The game has already surpassed 300,000 concurrent players on Steam, signaling strong player interest despite its brief time on the market.

A Rare Early Discount in the Borderlands Series
According to Gearbox Software CEO Randy Pitchford, it took Borderlands 3 five years to see a similar console discount. Pitchford encouraged fans to take advantage of the current sale while it lasts, hinting that such markdowns will be even rarer in future releases.
“Take advantage when it’s here! And to set expectations, it will be even longer before this kind of thing happens in the next cycle with Borderlands 4,” Pitchford wrote on social media.
The early price drop comes as Gearbox ramps up post-launch engagement through timed events and expansions, positioning the sale as an opportunity for new players to jump in ahead of upcoming content.
Upcoming Content: Horror of Kairos and Beyond
At PAX Australia, Gearbox detailed what’s next for Borderlands 4. The game’s first free event, “Horror of Kairos,” launches October 23–November 4, introducing new legendary weapons, cosmetics, and weather variants. Later this year, the studio plans to release paid DLC titled Invincible Boss 1: Bloomreaper—a high-difficulty boss fight and arena experience offering exclusive rewards.
Meanwhile, the game’s Nintendo Switch 2 version, originally scheduled for early October, has been delayed with no confirmed release date.
A Perfect Time to Jump In
With a strong launch, record player counts, and fresh content on the horizon, Borderlands 4’s limited-time discount offers newcomers an ideal moment to join the action. Whether diving into the Chaos Realm or preparing for Horror of Kairos, now’s the best time to loot and shoot at a lower price.
