At gamescom 2025, Gearbox Software CEO Randy Pitchford shared ambitious expectations for the upcoming release of Borderlands 4. In an exclusive interview with Insider Gaming, Pitchford stated that the new installment in the series will be the largest and most ambitious in the franchise's history. According to him, Borderlands 4 will allow the series to surpass the 100 million copies sold mark worldwide.
I remember coming to Gamescom with the first Borderlands, and just trying to get people to pay attention to the game, but no one cared. Many said that Borderlands would fail. And now the series is about to cross the 100 million copy mark with the release of Borderlands 4.
The Borderlands series has currently sold around 92 million copies. To reach the coveted 100 million mark, Borderlands 4 needs to sell at least 8 million copies.
