The Borderlands series has passed 100 million units sold cumulatively, 2K said. The figure counts physical shipments and digital sales across the series, from Gearbox Software's first Borderlands game in 2009 through 2025's Borderlands 4. 2K thanked fans and said few series reach the mark.

2K also said content production for Borderlands 4 continues beyond the Year 1 roadmap, with specifics to be announced later. That roadmap included new Vault Hunter DLC. Gearbox Software is pushing the game through open access and paid content at the same time: a Steam Free Weekend ran until 2:00 AM on September 15, with console free play for PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass subscribers and a 50 percent off sale planned. The second DLC-added Vault Hunter, Loveless the Hacker, joined the roster on September 10, and the second story DLC, FL4K and the Resort of Oblivion, is available.

The version 1.8 update arrived June 25 with the free raid Take Down of the Hadron Abyss, paid DLC Wanted Pack 3: Daddy Issues! In Zane's Name, Vault Card 3, and cross-save. A roadmap released with that update listed future content and named Loveless the Hacker as an upcoming Vault Hunter.

Separately, Gearbox founder Randy Pitchford posted photos of a watch found while scuba diving near Saint Martin. The watch is engraved "Google Pixel Watch 5" and lists an IP68 rating, heart rate sensor, UWB chip, pulse sensor, and skin temperature tracking. Pitchford said he contacted the owner and arranged its return.
