Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford says "I think they could charge $200" for Borderlands 4, "you can't find a better value in the world for any type of entertainment," then adds: "I wish they'd give it away, because then everyone would play it"

There's some fun cyberpunk DNA coursing through this thing.

Disastrous Borderlands movie gets the faintest of praise from Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford, who says it's a "miracle" the film even exists, which makes it "amazing" in his eyes

Borderlands only grossed $33 million at the box office

Total Film

Borderlands 4 won't get a big discount or hit subscription services any time soon, Randy Pitchford says, as it "took over 5 years" for Borderlands 3 and "it will be even longer" for this game

Borderlands 4 might be the series' turning point – after 3 hours of playing it, here's what caught me off guard

What I found made me rethink what Borderlands is becoming.

PC Gamer

Borderlands 4 hands-on: Yeah, it's just 'more Borderlands,' but Gearbox's consistency is respectable and there's a cool hoverbike

The next big Borderlands game isn't transformative, but on the flip side, it also isn't a live service extraction shooter with survival elements, so that's good.
