Does Borderlands 4 Have Crossplay? Split-Screen Status Explained

by

The Borderlands series has historically been recognized for its multiplayer capabilities and inclusivity. While playing solo can still provide an exhilarating experience, it remains to be seen if Borderlands 4 will continue to emphasize cooperative gameplay, split-screen modes, and cross-platform compatibility in its upcoming release.

It appears that Gearbox is extremely enthusiastic about Borderlands 4. In fact, Randy Pitchford has accelerated the game’s launch date, which is quite unprecedented. Moreover, we couldn’t help but express our high expectations for it in our exclusive sneak peek, and Randy himself believes that it could sell over 100 million copies!

If you’re all hyped up for Borderlands 4 and curious whether you can team up with friends who use various gaming platforms, you’ve landed on the ideal spot!

Is There Crossplay in Borderlands 4?

Borderlands 4 has complete crossplay functionality across every platform the game is launching on.

Borderlands 4 is now available for purchase across various platforms including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. This means that Borderlands 4 has a wide reach in terms of multi-platform availability, making it accessible to gamers on different systems. It’s exciting to note that even the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 is joining in the discussions about third-party games. If you decide to purchase Gearbox’s latest title for the Nintendo Switch 2, you will be able to play with others who own Borderlands 4 on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms, creating a unified gaming experience across these systems!

As Handsome Jack would say: “Butt Stallion says ‘Hello.” It’s not a relevant quote, but I love it.

Can You Play Borderlands 4 In Split-Screen?

As an avid fan, I’m excited to share that Gearbox has officially announced the inclusion of split-screen multiplayer in Borderlands 4. However, it seems the split-screen feature may not offer the same expansive scope as general crossplay does compared to other gaming modes.

The following information is from the Borderlands 4 FAQ. In a section about multiplayer options for the game, it’s noted that: “Borderlands 4 allows up to four players to join together online across all platforms. Additionally, two-player splitscreen couch co-op is available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

To reiterate, split-screen gameplay is only available on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Unfortunately, performing this task isn’t possible on the Nintendo Switch 2 or a personal computer (PC). The FAQ doesn’t provide an explanation for this limitation, but it seems to be the current state of affairs. We can consider this matter closed, and I suggest we file this information away securely so we can focus on other tasks.

Do We Know If Borderlands 4 Has Cross-Progression?

We unfortunately can’t say for certain if Borderlands 4 has cross-progression.

The FAQ provides comprehensive information on several topics, but there’s an area not addressed: the possibility of transferring your game progress between various platforms (cross-progression). It’s a feature often found in free-to-play live-service games, but for now, we can only speculate about its availability until more details are confirmed.
