Gearbox Software has announced that Borderlands 4 will completely eliminate loading screens, despite featuring the largest game world in the franchise’s history. Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford stated this during the company’s showcase at PAX East 2025.
“A massive world, zero load screens. No tricks or constraints getting in the way of players,” Pitchford emphasized.
Mr. Pitchford also added that Borderlands 4 offers “the largest and most completely seamless universe we’ve ever built.” This addresses one of the primary complaints about Borderlands 3, where lengthy load times frustrated players and disrupted the flow of the looter shooter.
Borderlands 4 will be released on September 12 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
