All Borderlands 4 Shift Codes (May 2026) and how to redeem for Golden Keys and Skins

Borderlands 4 Shift Codes give you free Golden Keys when redeemed that then unlock Golden Chests in the game, spewing forth loot you can hoover up, along with new skins for your Vault Hunters. Some of these 25-digit codes can stick around for a while, but most are temporary and expire quickly after a few day and sometime hours! So it pays to check in regularly and redeem them quickly to make sure you don't miss out on any rewards.

Before you can redeem codes, you need to link a SHiFT account to your platform account for Borderlands 4. So, to help you get some Epic and Legendary guns and gear, you'll find a list of all the valid Borderlands 4 Shift Codes we know of here, as well as details on how to redeem them to claim those Golden Keys.

As mentioned, some of these Shift Codes are temporary, so I've listed the expiry dates here too, but if a code doesn't have an expiry date, it's safe to assume it's permanent. Most importantly, these codes can only be redeemed once per Shift account, so once you've used a code you can forget about it.

New Borderlands 4 Shift Codes can drop without any sort of warning, so we'll do our best to keep this page up to date with the latest codes. If you want to keep on top of Shift Codes drops yourself, it's generally a good idea to check out developer Gearbox's social media pages and Randy Pitchford's Twitter as, historically, codes have been announced there.

How to redeem Shift Codes in Borderlands 4

To claim any of the Borderlands 4 Shift codes I've listed above, you first need to make sure you've got your SHiFT account and the account you're using to play the game (Xbox, PlayStation, Steam, etc…) linked.

There are instructions on how to do this in Borderlands 4, which you can find by selecting the 'SHiFT' tab on the main menu or pause menu, but the short answer is you can create a SHiFT account by logging in with your platform account details to automatically create a SHiFT account that's linked with your chosen platform. Otherwise, you can create a SHiFT account and manually link it to your platform account.

After linking accounts, you should reboot Borderlands 4, open the SHiFT tab on the main or pause menu again, navigate to the 'Rewards' tab (the gift box icon), and then enter a valid 25-digit Shift Code into the text box. Conveniently, these boxes are not case-sensitive, and you don't need to add in hyphens as the game will do this for you.

Once you've typed in a code, hit 'Redeem'. If you typed an active code in correctly, you can check the 'Reward History' tab to see exactly what you've unlocked. From there, hop into the game, and head to any of the hub towns (The Launchpad, Carcadia, Belton's Bore, or Upper Dominion) and find the Golden Chest within. Insert a Golden Key into the and it'll spit out some high-rarity gear that you can use as you please.

It's also possible to redeem Borderlands 4 Shift codes through the official website, which can be useful if you're away from your console and need to redeem a promo before it expires, or for copy and pasting in the codes without having to type them in manually. Visit the site, log in with your accounts, then use the Code Redemption box at the top to claim your rewards.
