It doesn’t look like Borderlands 4 will make the jump in price up to $80. A visit to the Xbox Store shows that the base version of Borderlands 4 will cost $69.99.
There are other editions of the game that are more pricey, including a $99.99 Deluxe Edition and $129.99 Super Deluxe Edition.
I’ll just wait until the fitgirl sale…
Gearbox needs to REVERT their FUCKING TOS back or I won’t play it at $0.00

It don’t matter what the release price is. Everything goes on sale eventually.
…unless it’s made by Nintendo.
I’ve never paid more than $20 for a game.
And I wouldn’t play Borderlands 4 for free, TBH. If they pay me my hourly rate, I may consider it depending on contract length. Other than that, fuck off, Gearbox.
Guybrush would be proud.
I have, but only fighting games because that first month of online play is heaven when there is no meta established and no one has muscle memory yet.
But yea, fuck Gearbox, I uninstalled every Borderlands Game after the new changes to EULA. Fuck them having kernal access.
$70.00 for base game.
Saved you a click from shitty Internet journalism
I’ve decided amongst this push to $80 games that even $70 is too rich for me. With very few exceptions, the only launch games I will allow myself to buy will be the $40-50 ones. Otherwise I will just wait until the $70+ ones that interest me to get there on their own. If i lose the urge to play them in the meantime, oh well. Money saved.
There are just sooooo many great games out there at much better prices.
I think the only thing that might get me to go over the $60 line is if a publisher takes a chance on a franchise/concept I’d like to see more of, which these days is rare.
I’ve had a similar response.I was kinda ready to accept the new price but then they started pushing an even higher price so I got an opposite reaction where stars would have to align for me to care about any game over 60 and even 60 is pushing my willingness to pay.
Conspiracy Theory: All that hubbub about an $80 base price was just to deflect from the fact that most sales are likely going to be funneled to the $100/130 editions…
It would be yet another spit in the face, if they released a 80$ base game, with the typical 2 season passes, totaling almost 300$ in dlcs of questionable quality. But I wouldn’t hold my breath for anything, because it’s 2K and Gearbox we’re talking about
Still too much given BL3 and pre-sequel.
I’d consider it at $40. See you on Black Friday!
To be fair, The Pre-Sequel was made by different studio entirely, but I agree that the Borderlands 3 story was utter crap. It was so bad that I couldn’t bear to keep playing, despite how I felt about the gameplay (which I honestly don’t remember at this point).
I’m playing through BL3 right now, and the game feel is fantastic. The story isn’t great, but after 5 hours, it still hasn’t hit a point where it’s so off-putting that I’d consider putting the game down. Pre-Sequel’s story did really bother me, but even then, the level design and bosses still made it worth seeing.
Guess I’m not a REAL Borderlands fan, since I’m still not going to “make it happen” at this price, and even if I do eventually buy it (and that’s an if - I’ll carefully read multiple reviews and watch a couple of streams before I decide) it’s going to be for max half that. Tough shit, eh Randy?
I haven’t been a real borderlands fan since 2. The gameplay is fun enough, but the dialogue kind of gets cringy after a while.
I’ve enjoyed the last Tiny Tina one actually, except the atrocious DLC, but hated the dialogue in 3 too.
Is 70 the new normal then? Was all that theater just to make the <80 price tag seem better?
Most games trying $70 have a hard time selling at $70 already. They can’t will a new normal of $80 into existence even though they’d like to. At least not right now.
