Randy Pitchford recently said it will take a long time for Borderlands 4 to go through big discounts and join subscription services like Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus.

Commenting on the 2025 Steam Summer Sale on X platform, the Gearbox CEO stressed that it took five years to get such a deep discount and join the game subscription service, he advised players to seize the offer.To give players reasonable expectations for the future, Randy Pitchford added that it will take longer for Borderlands 4 to achieve the same situation.However, the Gearbox CEO later clarified his statement, suggesting it might not be up to him and repeatedly stressed that he was not involved in pricing and sales.What is the credibility of these remarks in the future? It is worth paying attention to.

"Borderlands 4" takes longer than the previous work to receive a significant discount, which is not the only difference between the two.According to executive producer Chris Brock, the new series as a brand brings more evolution, while the design of the previous work pursues as familiar as possible, as the series has not released a new work in seven years.In particular, the mobility and exploration mechanics will distinguish this new game from other works in the series.

Borderlands 4 will be released on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S platforms on September 12.The Nintendo Switch 2 version will be released later.
