Borderlands 4 was released in September of last year for the price of $69.99. As someone who has played all of the Borderlands games throughout the years, I decided well before launch that I’d wait for a better price before I play this one. Even the positive IGN review of the game wasn’t enough to sway me into thinking I needed to pay $70.
So here we are, almost seven months later, and I still haven’t purchased the game, but the discounts are starting to be good enough that I’m considering it. While Amazon still has it at full price for digital codes, the physical PS5 editions of the game have dropped to a new all-time low.
While I don’t have direct experience playing this game, I have heard nothing but rave reviews from my Dad about it. He’s been a big Borderlands fan since the first game came out and offered a great multiplayer option for us to play together. His own honest opinion on the new game was that it was “more Borderlands,” which is a very positive review coming from him. IGN’s own review had this to say about the game:
As for whether or not this is a good enough deal to buy this game, I’d say that really depends on how long you want to wait before you play it. It’s down to $34 on PS5 right now, but that just means it’s likely going to drop below $30 later this year. We still have major upcoming shopping events like Prime Day and Black Friday when retailers start to get more competitive with pricing. The game will be a full year old as of September 2026, which is sort of the unofficial milestone where popular games start going on sale more often.
Overall, $34 is a great price for this game. In fact, it’s the best price we’ve ever seen on Amazon for the PS5 version. So if you don’t want to wait for an extra $5 off down the line, now is a good time to pull the trigger.
