Borderlands 4 Gets Own PlayStation State of Play
PlayStation has announced a dedicated State of Play for Borderlands 4 set for today.

During this anticipated live stream, developers from Gearbox Software will delve into the details of the latest installment in the Borderlands series. A PlayStation.blog post from April 29 promises over 20 minutes of "developer-guided gameplay," showcasing missions, powerful weapons, thrilling Action Skills, and a mix of new and familiar characters.
Launch Date Moved to September 12
In a surprising twist following the State of Play announcement, Gearbox Entertainment CEO Randy Pitchford shared in a now-deleted Twitter (X) video on April 29 that Borderlands 4 is set to launch earlier than expected on September 12. Pitchford quickly retracted the video, clarifying in a subsequent post that it was shared prematurely and would be reposted shortly.
In the video, Pitchford expressed optimism about the development process, stating that "everything’s going kinda the best scenario," which has enabled the team to move up the game's launch date. Initially slated for September 23, as revealed in a launch date trailer during PlayStation’s February State of Play, Borderlands 4 will now hit the shelves two weeks earlier. This was confirmed by an official tweet from Borderlands 4 on April 29.
The tweet proudly stated, "After careful consideration–along with A LOT of meetings, playtestings, and incredible development work–we have made the monumental decision to MOVE UP THE LAUNCH DATE OF BORDERLANDS 4 to SEPTEMBER 12."
Gearbox Software is committed to delivering what they promise to be the best Borderlands experience to date. With the release date now set earlier, fans can look forward to exploring the new planet of Kairos sooner than anticipated.
Borderlands 4 is scheduled for release on September 12, 2025, across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. Stay tuned for more updates by checking out our detailed article below!
