The Staggered Release

This staggered release can be frustrating for some, especially console players who often have to wait until midnight. It's one of the reasons many gamers prefer playing on PC, where they can often start earlier.

Critical Reception

Critics and creators have been playing the game for a while now, and soon, the review embargo will lift. Fans are excited to see how Borderlands 4 compares to the previous games. The first three games have metascores of 84, 89, and 81, respectively. Will Borderlands 4 break the 90 mark, or will it dip below 80? Only time will tell.

For now, fans are counting down the days until they can finally get their hands on the game.
