Preorders for Borderlands 4 have gone live, and it looks like fans won't have to shell out as much money for the game as initially thought, with the standard edition coming in at $70. The fourth mainline entry in Gearbox's zany sci-fi looter shooter franchise, Borderlands 4 will bring players to a new planet named Kairos and introduce a new band of Vault Hunters, along with "billions" of unique new guns to tear up foes.
Last month, controversy was sparked surrounding Borderlands 4 following Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford's comments to a fan who was voicing their concern about a potential $80 price tag for the game on Twitter. "If you were a real fan, you'd find a way to make it happen," Pitchford said, drawing the ire of gamers who've been worried about rising prices of video games since Nintendo's Switch 2 reveal during which the console's first-party launch title, Mario Kart World, was stamped with an $80 asking price. Game studios and notable figures around the industry chimed in to criticize Pitchford's comment, which eventually led to him issuing a somewhat formal apology on the matter several weeks later.
