Preview Borderlands 4 Leans into All Its Best, Familiar Strengths on PS5
Our thoughts after three hours of play
Video game developers love a trilogy, so when one keeps going and adds a number four to the title, it can also work like a statement: we're not done yet.

News Borderlands 4 Promises Not to Be Aggressively Unfunny
Turd time lucky
We embrace the differences between individuals, and we appreciate everyone has their own unique sense of humour.

News The Borderlands Movie Barely Made Back Its Marketing Budget
Tough crowd
Gearbox's foray into the world of major motion pictures has not been the rousing success intended, failing to galvanize players to go outside and see the thing. With the film's bombing at the box office and its theatrical run now all but over, it seems Borderlands did manage back its marketing budget, so that's something. As reported by...

Pitch unperfect
Randy Pitchford must feel quite conflicted at the moment.

Movie Review Borderlands - As Bland As the Brand It's Based On
Craptrap
Borderlands isn’t an especially funny franchise, so it’s perhaps fitting this Eli Roth (Hostel) adaptation lacks laughs.

Play with other platforms
If you play Borderlands 3 on PlayStation 5 or PS4, you're actually missing out on a feature all the other versions have — crossplay.
