Borderlands 4 pushes Gearbox’s looter shooter series into a fresh setting on PS5, keeping the familiar mix of chaotic gunplay, big personalities and an endless stream of weapons. It sits in the same space as Destiny-style co-op shooters, but with a heavier focus on humour, over-the-top builds and constant loot swapping. This time you drop onto Kairos, a planet under the grip of the Timekeeper, with four new Vault Hunters and a movement kit built for faster, more vertical fights.
Who is this for?
If you like experimenting with character builds and chasing ever-stranger guns, the branching skill trees and Action Skills are the main draw. The new mobility options, including double jumps, gliding and grappling, should make arenas feel less static and give you more ways to control crowds.
- 4-player online co-op with level scaling, so mixed-level groups can still play together
- Open exploration across varied regions, with roaming events and side quests between main missions
- Cross-play support via a SHiFT account, plus a paid console online subscription where required
