Borderlands 4 launch price confirmed at $70 by Randy Pitchford: When does the game come out?
Fans of the popular looter-shooter series Borderlands can now breathe a sigh of relief as Gearbox Software officially confirmed the launch price for Borderlands 4 as $70 for the Standard Edition. Earlier, there had been fears of an $80 price tag following controversial comments from Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford. This announcement comes after months of uncertainty and backlash from players when Pitchford hinted at the possibility of a higher cost. Pitchford later apologized for the comments after he was criticised by industry professionals. 'No price increase for Borderlands 4,' Pitchford said on his X account, calming the nerves of fans who were worried about following the trend set by games like Mario Kart: World, which launched at $80. The big news: No price increase for Borderlands 4! Standard Edition launches not at $80, but at $69.99! They're showing you, so please show them. You can find links to pre-order Borderlands 4 PC and console versions on the store pages here: — Randy Pitchford (@DuvalMagic) June 16, 2025 In addition to the price reveal, Gearbox confirmed exclusive pre-order bonuses for the Standard Edition, which includes skins for the Vault Hunter, weapon, and the new Echo-4 Drone. It will be released on September 12, 2025. The upcoming game marks a significant departure from the series' traditional setting, taking players to a new open-world sandbox called Kairos. With new movement features, an expanded arsenal, and the introduction of three new gun manufacturers, Borderlands 4 promises to be the most ambitious installment in the franchise to date. The development also comes amidst a trend by popular video games, such as Outer Worlds 2, which have been launched at $80. Fans have had a negative reaction in response to these games. The official pricing announcement has put an end to speculation, and the excitement for the game continues to build. Fans can now pre-order the game and look forward to what promises to be another thrilling addition to the Borderlands universe.

EE deal splits price of Nintendo Switch 2 to much cheaper £22 price
It's one of the only ways Nintendo Switch 2 fans can split the price of the console Today's the day the Nintendo Switch 2 console launches in the UK, as retailers including Amazon, Currys, Very and EE refresh their stock for gamers who missed out in last month's pre-sale. Amid the flurry of deals we've found a way for shoppers to split the price, down to only £22 per month. EE is offering the Nintendo Switch 2 on a monthly cost-splitting plan, a stark contrast from its £429.99 bundle upfront cost, shoppers will be able to get it for £22 per month instead. And unlike forking out hundreds upfront today, it only comes with an upfront cost of £20. The option is only available to split on the Switch 2 Mario Kart: World bundle, not the console by itself. All in shoppers will pay £20 when they buy the bundle upfront and lock in to 24 monthly payments of £22 for the plan, coming to £548 together. There's no secret that it comes to more than the likes of Currys, ShopTo and Amazon upfront prices, however it's an option for those who don't want to fork out the full price all at once. Another key thing shoppers need to know is that the plan is fixed, there's no wiggle room (without a fee) if left before the term ends. Split the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 at EE - here In terms of delivery EE says the console will take '1-3 working days' to arrive from the date of order, however shoppers are being urged to go fast as some consoles are already out of stock. The Mario Kart: World and console bundle is still available but 'selling fast'. However, EE's Switch 2 console has sold out. Nintendo Switch 2 stock updates From 6am today Nintendo's own store has been showing as out of stock for the console and now Very has joined suit. The consoles are certainly in demand and multiple sites have the live banner which says 'selling fast'. Retailer ShopTo is offering the Console and Mario Kart: World bundle too and shows the sheer demand on its site. As '2045 people are seeing this product' on their website. The Nintendo Switch 2 is in high demand thanks to its bigger screen, boosted performance and speed offering gamers a better user experience than the previous console. A welcome new feature is its Joy-Con controllers, arguably very distinctive to Switch models - these now come with built-in magnets to make them easier to remove. However compared to the previous £259.99 Switch 1 the newer Switch 2 does have a price. Shoppers are now paying £395.99 for the console, a huge price jump for the added features, not to mention the updated games come with an extra cost too.
