Borderlands 4 Premium Experience
With a focus on delivering a high-quality experience, Borderlands 4 promises to offer a rich and engaging gameplay experience, free from live services and microtransactions, making it a notable release in the gaming calendar, and one that fans will be keen to get their hands on when it launches on September 12.
Randy Pitchford, founder of Gearbox Software, understands player frustration over increasing game prices, citing his own struggles to afford premium games while working minimum wage, but believes the value of a game is what matters most, not just its price, as Borderlands 4 is set to launch with a premium price.
Pitchford recalls his passion for games and how it drove him to prioritize certain titles, even on a limited budget. He thinks that player frustration stems from a similar passion and attachment to games, and that the value of a game is what ultimately justifies its cost. With Borderlands 4, Pitchford aims to deliver a full-featured experience without live services or microtransactions, confident that players will find the value in the game exceeds its cost.
The game is scheduled to launch on September 12 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with pre-orders now available on PC for $69.99 USD. The game's system requirements have also been listed, including a minimum graphics card of AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT or NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070, and an eight-core processor. A Collector's Edition, exclusive to GameStop, is also available for $149.99 USD, featuring physical collectibles.
As the launch date approaches, fans of the Borderlands series are eagerly anticipating the release of Borderlands 4, and Pitchford's assurance of a premium experience without additional costs may alleviate some concerns over the game's price, making it a worthwhile investment for those passionate about the series.
