Borderlands Franchise Hits 93 Million Sales Before 4 Launch

Take-Two recently announced that the Borderlands franchise has reached nearly 93 million copies sold. This impressive figure comes as anticipation builds for Borderlands 4. The presentation highlighted that Borderlands 3 is the fastest-selling title in the series, with over 22 million units sold, while Borderlands 2 remains the top-selling title with 30 million copies. Furthermore, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands attracted a fresh audience, with 40% of its players being newcomers to the franchise. With a new, serious tone showcased in the State of Play presentation, Borderlands 4 is set to release on September 12, 2025, and appears to have a clear path amidst other heavy hitters like GTA 6 being delayed.

While it's difficult to predict exact numbers, given the franchise's previous successes, it's reasonable to expect Borderlands 4 to sell millions, especially with significant interest and a strategic release window.

Borderlands debuted in 2009 as a unique blend of first-person shooter mechanics and RPG elements, earning a dedicated fanbase due to its humorous tone and distinctive art style. The franchise has continually evolved, incorporating multiplayer features and expanding its lore, which keeps players engaged and eager for future installments.
