Borderlands 4 is set to launch later this week – and now developers Gearbox Software has confirmed exactly when you’ll be able to play the long-awaited sequel.

Borderlands 4 was officially announced by Gearbox Software last year and in May, the anticipated follow-up to 2019’s Borderlands 3 was confirmed to launch September 12 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. A Nintendo Switch 2 version is also in the works, but won’t launch until October 3.

Now Gearbox has revealed the official launch times for Borderlands 4 – and it’s good news for UK and European gamers.

Borderlands 4 will launch globally at 12:01am AEST on September 12 for console gamers and 4am AEST for PC users. The global launch means fans in the UK, North America and Europe will be able to play Borderlands 4 early, if they’re using a PC. Check out the full list below:

Borderlands 4 global launch times:

  • London (BST) – September 11 at 5pm (PC), September 12 at midnight (console)
  • Paris (CEST) – September 11 at 6pm (PC), September 12 at midnight (console)
  • New York (ET) – September 11 at 12pm (PC), September 12 at midnight (console)
  • Los Angeles (PT) – September 11 at 9am (PC), September 12 at midnight (console)
  • Sydney (AEST) – September 12 at 2am (PC), September 12 at midnight (console)

Borderlands 4 was originally meant to launch September 23 but was brought forward to September 12. According to Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford, the change was “the result of confidence in the game and development trajectory backed by actual tasks and bug find/fix rates”.

“Our decision is literally 0 per cent about any other product’s actual or theoretical launch date,” he added. According to early previews, Borderlands 4 is a much-needed evolution of the series.
