The Borderlands series has passed 100 million units sold, and 2K is asking fans what comes next

The Borderlands series has sold more than 100 million units. 2K shared the figure in a community message posted on the official Borderlands site at 9 a.m. PT on November 2[1]. Borderlands is a co-op shooter built around picking up and swapping an endless supply of guns. The first game came out in 2009; Gearbox Software develops the series and 2K publishes it[1]. The message gives no breakdown by game or platform, and it does not say which titles the total includes[1]. This article is current as of November 3, 2026.

Borderlands 4 closes out its first-year roadmap

Borderlands 4 launched on Steam on September 11, 2025[2]. In the year since, 2K says, it has released two Story Packs, five Bounty Packs, two new Vault Hunters (the playable characters) and a range of new features and activities. The Year 1 roadmap has just wrapped[1].

More is on the way. The team is working on Borderlands 4 content for next year, and Weekly Activity refreshes and Community Challenges will carry on[1]. What arrives, and when, has not been announced.

Gearbox wants input on where the series goes

2K and Gearbox say they are also looking at the franchise as a whole. They are asking where the series should go next, which characters players want more time with, and which stories deserve a payoff[1]. Feedback goes through the official social accounts and the Gearbox DevCast, a show where the developers respond to community comments[1].

There was no new game title and no date. The message only says that big plans take time and that the team will say more when the time is right[1].

A charity drive on November 6, and a sale that ends November 16

The same message announced that The Hunt, a long-running community fundraiser, starts on November 6. The previous event raised a record $118,995.80 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital[1]. This time 2K Foundations, 2K's social impact arm, and Gearbox will match every dollar donated, up to that record amount. If the full match is reached, the total could pass $230,000[1].

For anyone thinking of starting Borderlands 4 on PC, a Steam sale is running. On the US store the base game is 50% off, down from $69.99 to $34.99, and the Super Deluxe Edition is down from $129.99 to $51.99. The sale ends at 10 a.m. PT on November 16[2].
