Borderlands 4<\/a> looks like a big hit in the U.S. at least, where it has outperformed Borderlands 3 in terms of money made.<\/p>\n

U.S. video game data company Circana said Gearbox\u2019s looter shooter was the best-selling premium video game of September, debuting as the third best-selling game of 2025 so far. It was September\u2019s best-seller on both the Xbox and aggregated PC storefront charts.<\/p>\n

Most importantly for publisher 2K Games, Borderlands 4 generated the highest launch month dollar sales of any title in the franchise\u2019s history, nearly 30% higher than the previous best, Borderlands 3.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

It\u2019s worth noting this stat isn\u2019t about unit sales, rather revenue generated. Borderlands 4 launched at $69.99 (eventually, after a weird kerfuffle online about whether it would jump to $80<\/a>), with the Deluxe Edition priced $99.99 and the Super Deluxe Edition at $129.99. At its launch in September 2019, Borderlands 3 cost $59.99 for the standard edition, $79.99 for the Deluxe Edition, and $99.99 for the Super Deluxe Edition. It’s also worth noting that Borderlands 3 was a PC exclusive to the Epic Games Store for six months after its release, whereas Borderlands 4 launched across PC via Steam as well as consoles.<\/p>\n

So, we don\u2019t have hard sales figures yet (2K Games has made no announcement so far). But according to Circana, Borderlands 4 was the first Borderlands title to launch as the best-selling game of its release month, so there\u2019s that.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

There were encouraging signs for Borderlands 4 when it came out last month. It set a peak concurrent player number record for the franchise on Steam<\/a> (neither Sony nor Microsoft make player numbers public). But it has suffered from performance issues that have contributed to its \u2018mixed\u2019 Steam review rating on Valve\u2019s platform. Gearbox has issued a series of patches since launch, but fans are waiting for the Borderlands 4 \u2018Day 30 Update,\u2019 which is due out later this week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

NBA 2K26, by the way, is 2025\u2019s best-selling game year-to-date, ahead of Capcom\u2019s Monster Hunter: Wilds. Helldivers 2 was the fourth best-selling game of September on Xbox platforms, after debuting third during its August launch month. Helldivers 2 ranked as the sixth best-selling game overall in September and was 19th for the 2025 year-to-date period.<\/p>\n
