Take-Two Reaffirms Borderlands 4 Support Through Story Pack 2 as Steam Peaks Fall to 4 Digits

2 articles · Updated · IGN · Aug 10

Summary

  • Strauss Zelnick said Borderlands 4's performance has "not affected our plans at all," adding that 2K and Gearbox are "totally supporting" the game despite community doubts about year-two content.
  • September brings the next concrete support beat: Story Pack 2, Bounty Pack 5 and the Version 1.10 update, plus new Vault Hunter Loveless the Hacker as paid DLC.
  • Those assurances come after a turbulent first year marked by severe PC performance complaints, a scrapped Switch 2 version and Zelnick's earlier admission that sales saw "a little bit of softness."
  • Steam illustrates the pressure on the game's momentum: after topping 300,000 concurrent players at launch, Borderlands 4 now averages peak concurrents in the four digits and still carries a mixed user rating.
  • Gearbox has not announced a broader 2026-and-beyond roadmap, leaving Story Pack 2 as the main test of whether fresh content can revive engagement and clarify long-term support.
