Borderlands 4 Has Dropped to Just $35 for Black Friday
This Black Friday, gamers are in for a treat with a significant price drop on *Borderlands 4*, now available for just $35 on both PlayStation 5 and Xbox, marking a massive 50% discount. Released only a few months ago, this deal is not only enticing but also time-sensitive, as stock levels are expected to dwindle quickly. With previous hot deals like *Battlefield 6* already sold out, it’s crucial for bargain hunters to act fast to secure this title before it vanishes into the “shadow realm” of missed opportunities. Additionally, *Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater* is also on sale for $30, presenting another fantastic deal that may not last long.
In terms of gameplay, *Borderlands 4* has garnered positive reviews, with IGN’s Travis Northup giving it a commendable 8 out of 10. He praised the game for revitalizing the series with its expansive open world and enhanced combat mechanics, despite some minor issues like bugs and invisible walls. Recent updates have further improved the game, including a significant balance patch that benefits players’ chosen characters and the addition of a field of view (FOV) slider for the PS5 version. Looking ahead, the game has a promising post-launch roadmap that includes new content, such as a new Vault Hunter named C4SH, ensuring players have plenty to look forward to.
With Black Friday officially kicking off on November 28, the current $35 price tag for *Borderlands 4* is already a standout deal, making it a smart buy now rather than waiting for potential future discounts. Currently, only Amazon and GameStop are offering this price, so consumers should be wary of stock running out quickly. For those who have been eyeing this title, now is the time to act before the deal disappears. In the competitive landscape of Black Friday sales, this bargain is one of the best, alongside other notable titles, making it an excellent opportunity for gamers to enhance their collections and enjoy the holiday season.
Borderlands 4 has dramatically fallen to just
$35 for both PlayStation 5
and
Xbox
in the
Black Friday sales
. At 50% off, that’s a huge deal on a game that only came out a few months ago, and one that I truly doubt is going to stay in stock for long.
This is one of the best deals going in both the Xbox and PS5 Black Friday sales, and absolutely worth picking up ASAP. Deals like this tend not to stick around, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s gone by the end of Thanksgiving, let alone Black Friday weekend.
Just look at
Battlefield 6
, one of the best deals of the day, and already out of stock at Amazon. You’ve just got to be speedy with deals of this calibre, I’m afraid. I’d also recommend picking up
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater for $30
right now as well, another deal so good it’s almost guaranteed to disappear soon.
But is Borderlands 4 worth it as well? Well, I certainly think so. It’s a great game! While IGN’s reviewer and loot shooter aficionado, Travis Northup, felt the open world wasn’t quite as open as it could be,
he still gave the game a recommendable 8 out of 10
.
“Borderlands 4 gives the series the massive kick in the pants it has needed, with a fantastic open world and greatly improved combat, even if bugs and invisible walls can sometimes throw off that groove.”
The game also recently got a
big balance patch,
which had very positive ramifications for my chosen Vault Hunter, Amon, and the PS5 version in this deal
now has an FOV slider and improved performance
.
Expect Borderlands 4 to be around for a while, too.
While the Switch 2 port has been delayed indefinitely
, the game’s
post-launch roadmap is stacked
– and will include a new Vault Hunter, C4SH,
who was revealed recently
.
Should You Wait for Black Friday on Nov. 28?
Wait? Not for a deal like this.
Black Friday
proper might throw a few curveballs on November 28, but
Borderlands 4 at $35
is already sitting firmly in Black Friday-deal territory, and it’s absolutely worth grabbing before the stock gets lost to the shadow realm.
Only Amazon and GameStop have it right now, so if the price gets nuked, that’s you staring down a fresh dose of Black Friday FOMO. Hopefully Walmart and Best Buy wake up and match it soon. If it’s been sitting on your wishlist, this is the best price you’re going to see, and it wipes the floor with pretty much anything else in the mix.
It also goes head to head with what I’d been calling the best PS5 game deal so far, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater at $30. And if you’ve been lurking around my bargain roundups, you’ve already seen the
$20 or less list stuffed
with heavy hitters, plus the under
$30 guide
where MGS was the star of the show.
Like BF6, those are going to disappear fast. If you want something broader, I’ve already pulled together a full sweep of the
best Black Friday video game deals
. Bottom line, grab the good stuff now and enjoy your Thanksgiving.
