Borderlands 4 was launched in September of final yr for the worth of $69.99. As somebody who has performed the entire Borderlands video games all through the years, I made a decision properly earlier than launch that I would wait for a higher worth earlier than I play this one. Even the optimistic IGN evaluation of the sport wasn’t sufficient to sway me into pondering I wanted to pay $70.
So right here we’re, nearly seven months later, and I nonetheless have not bought the sport, however the reductions are beginning to be ok that I am contemplating it. Whereas Amazon nonetheless has it at full worth for digital codes, the bodily PS5 editions of the sport have dropped to a new all-time low.

Whereas I haven’t got direct expertise enjoying this recreation, I’ve heard nothing however rave critiques from my Dad about it. He is been a massive Borderlands fan because the first recreation got here out and provided a nice multiplayer possibility for us to play collectively. His personal sincere opinion on the brand new recreation was that it was “extra Borderlands,” which is a very optimistic evaluation coming from him. IGN’s personal evaluation had this to say concerning the recreation:
As for whether or not or not that is a ok deal to purchase this recreation, I would say that basically relies upon on how lengthy you need to wait earlier than you play it. It is down to $34 on PS5 proper now, however that simply means it is seemingly going to drop under $30 later this yr. We nonetheless have main upcoming purchasing occasions like Prime Day and Black Friday when retailers begin to get extra aggressive with pricing. The sport can be a full yr outdated as of September 2026, which is type of the unofficial milestone the place well-liked video games begin going on sale extra typically.
General, $34 is a nice worth for this recreation. In actual fact, it is the best price we’ve ever seen on Amazon for the PS5 model. So if you don’t need to wait for an additional $5 off down the road, now could be a good time to pull the set off.
