Why it matters
The 100 million figure puts Borderlands in the same cumulative-sales band 2K's own announcement places Dragon Quest in after that series crossed the mark in September 2026, and the promise of Borderlands 4 content past Year 1 signals the publisher is treating the latest entry as a long-running platform rather than a finished release.
Key Facts
- 2K said the Borderlands series has surpassed 100 million units sold cumulatively.
- Gearbox Software developed the first Borderlands, released in 2009, and still handles the series.
- Borderlands 4 released in 2025, and its Year 1 roadmap included new Vault Hunter DLC.
- 2K said content production for Borderlands 4 continues beyond Year 1, with specifics to be announced later.
- A Borderlands series sale is underway on Steam.
The company thanked fans, noting few series reach the figure. 2K also said content production for Borderlands 4 continues beyond the Year 1 roadmap, which included new Vault Hunter DLC, with specifics to be announced later.
2K did not give a breakdown by title or platform, and it did not set a date for the next content announcement. The caveat attached to the Borderlands 4 plan is that specifics will be adjusted while feedback is taken into account.
The 100 million count covers the numbered entries from the 2009 original through 2025's Borderlands 4, along with spin-offs such as The Pre-Sequel and Tales from the Borderlands. Gearbox Software developed the first game and still handles the series. A Borderlands sale is running on Steam alongside the announcement.
