Borderlands 4 Standard Edition Price Announced at $70
Gearbox’s highly anticipated Borderlands 4 will be available for $69.99 for the standard edition, publisher 2K Games officially confirmed as preorders go live. This marks a significant point of interest for fans eager to dive into the latest installment of the popular looter-shooter franchise.
Background: Controversy Over Pricing and Developer Comments
The game’s pricing became a hot topic after some controversial remarks from development head Randy Pitchford. In response to a fan expressing concerns about the potential $80 price tag for Borderlands 4, Pitchford suggested that true fans would find a way to support the game regardless of the cost, saying: “if you’re a real fan, you’ll find a way to make it happen.”
While Pitchford later addressed the backlash with further tweets clarifying his position, the confirmed retail price for the standard edition remains at approximately $70, easing some worries about the initial price concerns.
