If you haven’t picked up a copy of Borderlands 4, you can score an incredible deal at Amazon and GameStop for Black Friday. Borderlands 4 is on sale for only $35 just two months after its release. The 50% discount is for the physical edition on PS5 and Xbox Series X. This deal first popped up today (November 27) at GameStop, and Amazon matched it shortly after. Amazon has sold out of the PS5 edition once already, so this deal might not be available after today.
$35 (was $70)
While previous Borderlands games were primarily set on the planet of Pandora–Borderlands 3 expanded on this with several more planets to visit–Borderlands 4 takes place on the world of Kairos, giving players free rein to cause some chaos as they take on the forces of the Timekeeper.
Just like its predecessors, the key goal here is to take control of one of four unique Vault Hunters, grow their skills, and strengthen them further by finding powerful weapons and gear. It’s a formula that has been present since the original Borderlands game, but in Borderlands 4, that gameplay has been fine-tuned to its best and enhanced with quality-of-life features.
$55 (was $70) | Release Date TBA
The Nintendo Switch 2 port of Borderlands 4 was originally slated for October 3, just a few weeks after the game’s September 1 launch on other platforms. But then about a week before launch day, Gearbox announced an indefinite delay to polish the experience on Switch 2.
If you’re planning on buying Borderlands 4 for Nintendo Switch 2, it makes sense to secure a preorder right now. Target has slashed $15 from the price. Amazon was matching this offer but sold out fast. Keep in mind this is a Game-Key Card, so you will need to download Borderlands 4 from the eShop after loading the cartridge into your console for the first time.

Since launch, developer Gearbox has further tweaked Borderlands 4 with several big updates, balance patches, and weekly hotfixes. The studio also has extensive post-launch plans for the game–both paid and free–with the first DLC dropping on November 20 and adding all-new missions, enemies and legendary gear.
Endgame content is also arriving toward the end of the year, as players will be able to test their skills and Vault Hunter builds against a tough boss called Bloomreaper the Invincible.
