Borderlands 4 drops to $34.99 on Steam, cutting the co-op looter shooter by 50%

Borderlands 4 is half price on Steam, giving PC players a chance to pick up Gearbox’s co-op looter shooter for $34.99 instead of the store’s displayed $69.99 price. That is a $35 saving on the Standard Edition.

The US Steam offer ends November 16. Prices and availability may differ by region, so check the amount shown on your own account before buying.

This is the base game rather than one of the more expensive editions with additional content. Steam also lists a discounted Super Deluxe Edition, so make sure the version in your cart is the one you want.

Four Vault Hunters and a planet full of loot

Borderlands 4 takes players to Kairos, where four new Vault Hunters face the Timekeeper’s rule. As in earlier games, the appeal is a mix of first-person shooting, character builds and the hunt for better weapons.

You can tackle the adventure solo or with up to four players in online co-op. Gearbox says level scaling and individual difficulty settings help friends play together even when their characters are at different stages.

Movement options include grappling, gliding and double jumping, while a hover bike helps with getting around Kairos. Each Vault Hunter has abilities and skill trees to shape how they fight.

What to check before buying

The Steam listing specifies Windows 10 or 11, 16GB of RAM and 100GB of SSD storage among its minimum requirements. It lists a GeForce RTX 2070, Radeon RX 5700 XT or Intel Arc A580 with 8GB of VRAM as minimum graphics options.

Those are the minimum specifications, not a promise that every listed PC will run the game at its highest settings. The SSD requirement is worth checking in advance: 100GB can take a substantial share of a smaller gaming laptop’s storage, before other installed games and future updates are considered.

Online play needs an internet connection, and cross-play requires a SHiFT account. Steam also lists Denuvo DRM and a separate publisher license agreement. Check the full requirements and terms on the store page before purchasing.

The recommended PC specification is more demanding: Steam lists 32GB of RAM and an RTX 3080, Radeon RX 6800 XT or Intel Arc B580. These are the publisher’s requirements rather than a guarantee of performance on a particular machine.

Steam’s user reviews are marked Mixed at the time of checking. If you are unsure whether its shooting and loot loop are for you, those reviews are useful context alongside the discount.
