Gearbox Software's Borderlands 4 is currently available at its lowest price ever, offering a 56% discount that brings the PC version down to $30.79. This limited-time deal is set to expire on Friday, July 31, 2026, at 3 PM PT / 5 PM ET / 11 PM BST.
The latest entry in the franchise refines the signature looter-shooter gameplay that the series is known for, blending chaotic first-person shooting with an abundance of loot. The narrative sees players venturing to the prison planet of Kairos to confront the tyrannical Timekeeper and his commanders, joining a resistance movement to overthrow the ruling dictatorship while pursuing a vault brimming with valuable gear.
While Borderlands 3 leaned heavily into a more crude humor, Borderlands 4 adopts a more mature approach to its story themes, though it retains the franchise's characteristic whimsy and absurdity. The game balances more emotional story beats with its signature slapstick humor and over-the-top action. Side quests remain as eccentric as ever, and the arsenal features the series' trademark outlandish weaponry, including grenades that generate black holes and throwable guns that function as explosive projectiles.
Developed by Gearbox Software, Borderlands 4 represents what is considered by some a confident evolution of the series. Although initial performance issues at launch have largely been resolved, the villains may not reach the memorable heights of Handsome Jack from previous installments. Despite these minor points, the game is seen as a significant step forward for the franchise. This current discount presents an opportune moment for players who may have missed the game at its initial release to experience its evolved gameplay and unique brand of chaos.
