Borderlands 4 is a first-person looter shooter developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K.

Pick a Vault Hunter, travel on foot or by Digirunner, and chase guns that carry licensed manufacturer parts.

Kairos storefronts and the live SKU

  • The official FAQ lists Steam, Epic, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S as live storefronts. Nintendo Switch 2 is still coming soon in English even though 2K Japan listed 3 October 2025. Steam dates the PC SKU 11 September 2025; the 2K newsroom announced 12 September 2025 worldwide for consoles and PC. Xbox's listing date is 13 September 2025 with store ID 9mx6hkf5647g.
  • Kairos is one seamless overworld: double jump, glide, dodge, grapple, and a Digirunner hover-bike across fields, peaks, and deserts with no loading gates between those biomes. Fadefields is the first named region, home of the Outbounders and Rush, and the focus of the first Bounty Pack. The Timekeeper's Order is the ruling force on that map.
  • Compare Standard, Deluxe, and Super Deluxe before you pay a-la-carte. SHiFT linking, splitscreen, and the Steam PC spec sit on Co-op. Vault Cards and licensed parts sit on Loot. Languages, offline play, and prior-game requirements are rewritten on FAQ.

Open the six-hunter roster

  • The Vault Hunters table filters Vex, Rafa, Amon, Harlowe, C4SH, and Loveless by availability, trait, and Action Skill. Each class equips one of three skills; Augments and Capstones stay on the tree you invested in. Phase Covenant, Overdrive, Forgeskill, Entanglement, Windfall, and RAM rewrite those kits.
  • C4SH the Rogue arrived with Story Pack 1: Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned on 26 March 2026. Loveless the Hacker is the $9.99 Version 1.10 hunter, also in Super Deluxe / Vault Hunter Pack. Standard still holds only the launch four until you buy the matching pack.
  • Use the three-hunter compare drawer for trait text and skill names, then read the eighteen named skills on Action Skills. Trees use 5-point rows. You can fire another tree's skill without that tree's Augments or Capstones. Pick the trait loop first and the individual skill second before you spend a character slot.

Version 1.10 payload record

  • The dated Story Packs timeline is the spend sheet: Story Pack 1 on 26 March 2026, then Loveless, Story Pack 2, and Bounty Pack 5 on 10 September 2026. The same news window opened a-la-carte Story Pack 1 / Bounty Pack 2 and ran a free-play weekend plus an anniversary sale.
  • Story Pack 2: FL4K and the Last Resort is $19.99 with Providence, eight story bosses, thirteen missions, and Pearlescent plus Legendary loot. Bounty Pack 5: Amara and the Vile Shadows is $5.99 with narrative content, gear, and the Vile Test Chamber; Vault Card 5 is sold separately.
  • Super Deluxe already licenses Loveless and both Story Packs. Confirm squad rules on Co-op if you are bringing a four-player session. After you pick a hunter, come back only when a new dated drop lands; the live payload on this hub is Version 1.10, not an undated roadmap of future packs.
