Here are the Borderlands 4 release times and dates

The Borderlands 4 global release times and dates have been announced ahead of its imminent arrival, explaining when it's live and when you can start an all new Vault hunting career. And it looks like there's a chance the old New Zealand trick might come into play on a few formats looking at what Gearbox has announced. Just saying...

Once it's out let us help you get started with some Borderlands 4 tips and a guide to the best Borderland 4 class options.

When does Borderlands 4 release on PS5 and Xbox

The Borderlands 4 release time on PS5 and Xbox all release at 12am on September 12th in each respective time zone:

• New Zealand - Sept 12 at 12:00 AM NZST
• Australia - Sept 12 at 12:00 AM AEST
• Japan - Sept 12 at 12:00 AM JST
• Singapore - Sept 12 at 12:00 AM SGT
• UK - Sept 12 at 12:00 AM BST
• USA - Sept 12 at 12:00 AM ET / Sept 11 at 9:00 PM PT

Which means there's a chance the old New Zealand trick of setting your console to match New Zealand time might work here. No way of knowing until the day but it's certainly worth a try if you can't bear to wait.

Borderlands 4 PC release time

The Borderlands 4 release time on PC on Steam and Epic is a little bit more funky with a global release time:

• New Zealand - Sept 12 at 4:00 AM NZST
• Australia - Sept 12 at 2:00 AM AEST
• Japan - Sept 12 at 1:00 AM JST
• Singapore - Sept 12 at 12:00 AM SGT
• UK - Sept 11 at 5:00 PM BST
• USA - Sept 11 at 12:00 PM ET / Sept 11 at 9:00 AM PT

So while that 4am looks a bit later on the starter NZT time, because it's a synchronised global release it actually means you could get it a bit earlier depending on where you are. No idea what's going on there and why it's not just the same for everyone waiting to play Borderlands 4, but it is what it is.

Borderlands 4 Nintendo Switch 2 release time

If you're waiting for the Borderlands 4 Nintendo Switch 2 release time then you'll have a little longer to wait, unfortunately:

• New Zealand - Oct 3 at 12:00 AM NZST
• Australia - Oct 3 at 12:00 AM AEST
• Japan - Oct 3 at 12:00 AM JST
• Oct 3 at 12:00 AM SGT
• UK - Oct 3 at 12:00 AM BST
• USA - Oct 3 at 12:00 AM ET / Oct 2 at 9:00 PM PT

Like PS5 and Xbox it's releasing at 12am in every respective time zone, just on October the 3rd, nearly a month behind everything else.

Worth pointing out there's no Borderlands 4 Game Pass option either so while you wait for the full release, whatever you're playing on, take a look at all the Borderlands 4 classes, to get a feel for the best Vault hunter for you to choose when it's all downloaded and good to go.
