The Borderlands series has sold over 100 million copies, and Gearbox is “cooking hard on more Borderlands 4 content for next year”

The Borderlands franchise has reached a major milestone: over 100 million copies sold across all games since the series launched in 2009. Gearbox Software announced this achievement, noting that few franchises have ever reached this sales figure. CEO Randy Pitchford had previously promised in August 2025 that Borderlands 4 would push the series beyond the 100 million mark—a promise the franchise has now delivered on.

The news arrives as Borderlands 4 has just completed its first year of downloadable content. Gearbox confirmed that ongoing support will continue into 2027, with the team “cooking hard on more Borderlands 4 content for next year.” The studio will maintain its schedule of weekly activity refreshes and community challenges, though specific details about the new content remain unannounced.

Beyond immediate plans for Borderlands 4, Gearbox is also soliciting fan feedback to shape the franchise’s future direction. The developer has invited the community to share their ideas about what comes next, while teasing an “exciting overall direction” for the series. This community-focused approach suggests Gearbox is committed to understanding player preferences as it develops its next major updates and future entries.

The 100 million sales milestone underscores the enduring popularity of the Borderlands franchise, which has grown from its 2009 debut into one of gaming’s most successful looter-shooter properties.
