Borderlands 4 Pre-Orders Are Now Live!

Gearbox Software has officially revealed Borderlands 4's pricing as pre-orders begin. The Borderlands Twitter account announced on June 16 that pre-orders are now available across all platforms.

The announcement confirms the Standard Edition will retail for $70, while Deluxe and Super Deluxe Editions will cost $100 and $130 respectively. This settles fan concerns about a potential $80 price tag.

Borderlands 4 Pricing Details Clarified

Speculation began weeks earlier when Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford avoided directly answering pricing questions. His May 14 tweet suggesting "real fans" would accept an $80 price sparked controversy.

The ambiguity continued until Pitchford's May 29 clarification tweet: "I'm sorry for any misunderstanding. My sincere hope is players always feel they're getting great value." Despite this, his initial remarks left some fans reconsidering purchases.
