February 26 is a Very Important Day for Borderlands 4

Borderlands 4 was generally considered a successful revival of the series, earning positive reviews – an average score of 82 from top critics on OpenCritic. Many fans were disappointed with Borderlands 3, so this new installment felt like a return to the series’ roots, while still trying something new with a more expansive open world. However, despite a strong launch in September 2025, the game has quickly lost players, even with Gearbox releasing numerous updates. The developers now face the challenge of attracting players back to the game in 2026 and beyond.
