We’re just some weeks away from Borderlands 4‘s launch on September 12, 2025 for Xbox Sequence X|S — it gained’t be lengthy till you’re wreaking havoc throughout Kairos as a badass Vault Hunter and breaking free from the Timekeeper’s management! As we speak, I’m thrilled to disclose extra particulars about one thing extremely particular to me: two-player, split-screen multiplayer in Borderlands 4.
For many people on the event crew, a few of our fondest and most formative Borderlands recollections are the hours we spent enjoying in split-screen sofa co-op. The looter shooter gameplay of the Borderlands video games has all the time been a blast whereas enjoying solo, however it feels just like the enjoyable will increase exponentially whenever you’re enjoying alongside a good friend or beloved one. So many people have bonded over the shared experiences that outline two-player split-screen, from lastly taking down a troublesome boss, to getting an superior Legendary loot drop, and even simply cracking up at one thing one in all our Vault Hunters stated throughout a firefight.
Multiplayer has all the time been a core energy of the Borderlands sequence, whether or not on-line or split-screen—which is why Borderlands 4 is designed for co-op from the bottom up. We’re extremely excited to have full crossplay assist at launch so you may play with buddies wherever they’re, with drop-in/drop-out motion for as much as 4 gamers on-line (requires SHiFT Account*). That features the power to play split-screen regionally when you be a part of up with two different gamers on-line—you may even get two split-screen duos linked as much as type a full social gathering of 4!
We’ve additionally made it simpler than ever to leap into some co-op looter shooter motion, from the streamlined foyer system all the way down to the sport mechanics themselves. Dynamic stage scaling ensures that everybody can contribute to the carnage, so you may all the time play collectively no matter variations between your Vault Hunters’ ranges or gear loadouts. That very same philosophy applies to the person issue settings. You and your buddies can every tune the encounters to really feel as powerful or forgiving as you personally like.
You’ll even have the choice to quick journey on to different gamers, which may be extraordinarily useful when navigating Borderlands 4‘s big, seamless world. The areas of the damaging new planet Kairos interconnect to create the most important expanse we’ve ever had in a Borderlands recreation, and also you may find yourself exploring in a completely totally different path than your co-op social gathering. The truth that you may cruise round in your customized Digirunner automobile at any time, together with the brand new layer of verticality within the environments, makes it so that you simply may inadvertently put a whole lot of distance between you and your squad. With party-based quick journey, you may virtually immediately be a part of again up after a joyride in the wrong way or a flubbed leap off the facet of a cliff (not that I’ve ever executed that, in fact).

Borderlands 4 additionally makes for an superior hangout recreation regardless of how a lot time you could have for a given play session. You’re free to discover as you see match, and Kairos has participating Factors of Curiosity to find in all instructions. Shorter co-op periods are nice for claiming Factors of Curiosity within the title of the Crimson Resistance, together with secure homes that unlock new quick journey spots or silos with decommissioned Order communications balloons that allow you to take to the sky, scope out your subsequent goal, and help your seek for elusive Vault Key Fragments. Or, when you’re in it for the lengthy haul, you and your social gathering can endeavor to take again complete areas from the Timekeeper’s oppressive grip, clearing out anybody (or something) silly sufficient to get in your method.
I additionally need to give a fast shoutout to all of the wonderful Vault Hunter customization choices you may unlock, as a result of a part of the co-op enjoyable is exhibiting off your sense of favor to fellow Vault Hunters. I’ve spent hours tinkering with my mixture of Vault Hunter Heads and Skins to impress my co-op buddies, and it’s simply as enjoyable to see what new outfits they’ve cooked up for our newest play session.
Your complete Gearbox crew is past excited for the debut of Borderlands 4, and we are able to’t anticipate you (and your co-op squad!) to set foot on Kairos. You possibly can pre-order Borderlands 4 Normal Version, Deluxe Version, and Tremendous Deluxe Version now on the Xbox Retailer, with the latter two together with post-launch content material. See you on Kairos, Vault Hunter!
