Borderlands 4 Gets Own PlayStation State of Play

PlayStation has officially announced that Borderlands 4 will be featured in its dedicated State of Play today. The announcement came via a tweet on April 29, setting the stage for the Borderlands 4 State of Play to go live on April 30 at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET / 10 PM BST / 11 PM CEST. You can tune in on PlayStation's official YouTube and Twitch channels. Here's a handy timetable to help you catch the stream at the right time in your region:

During this live event, Gearbox Software's developers will unveil more about the much-anticipated FPS sequel in the Borderlands franchise. A post on the PlayStation.blog on April 29 detailed that the State of Play will feature around 20 minutes of developer-guided gameplay. Expect to see missions, powerful weapons, thrilling Action Skills, and a mix of new and familiar characters.

Launch Date Moved to September 12

In a surprising turn of events, following the State of Play announcement, Gearbox Entertainment CEO Randy Pitchford shared a video on Twitter (X) on April 29, announcing that Borderlands 4's launch date has been moved up to September 12. The video was quickly taken down, with Pitchford explaining in a follow-up post that it was posted prematurely and he would share it again soon.

In the video, Pitchford expressed enthusiasm about the development progress, stating that "everything’s going kinda the best scenario," which justified the decision to advance the launch date. Initially, during PlayStation’s February State of Play, Borderlands 4 was slated for a September 23 release. However, the game's official Twitter (X) account confirmed the new date, moving it up by two weeks.

The official post reads, "After careful consideration–along with A LOT of meetings, playtestings, and incredible development work–we have made the monumental decision to MOVE UP THE LAUNCH DATE OF BORDERLANDS 4 to SEPTEMBER 12."

Gearbox Software is committed to delivering what they promise to be the greatest Borderlands game to date. With the release date now closer, fans can look forward to exploring the new planet of Kairos sooner than anticipated.

Borderlands 4 is scheduled to launch on September 12, 2025, across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. Stay tuned for more updates and insights by checking out our detailed article below!
