Borderlands 4 Pre-Load Date
Excitement for Borderlands 4 is building as key logistical details for its launch have now been revealed. Thanks to updates spotted in PlayStation databases, fans now know when they can pre-load the game and, in a welcome surprise, how much precious SSD space it will require.
In an era where blockbuster games often demand over 100GB of storage, Borderlands 4 is bucking the trend. The download size for the PlayStation 5 version has been confirmed to be 28.168 GB (for version 01.002.001). This is a remarkably modest size, coming in at just over half the storage required by Borderlands 3 on the same platform, which was 52.927 GB at launch.
This efficient file size will be a relief to players managing limited console storage. It suggests that Gearbox Software has utilized advanced compression techniques or built a more optimized game engine, ensuring a smaller footprint without sacrificing the game’s promised scale.
For those eager to jump in the moment the game goes live, the pre-load schedule is also set. Players who have pre-ordered a digital copy can begin downloading the game on September 10, 2025. This will give them two full days to have everything ready before the official launch on September 12. The pre-load will include the day-one patch pre-installed, though a small additional update may still be released right at launch.
The game itself is shaping up to be the most ambitious in the series. Gearbox has promised a “fully seamless” environment, eliminating loading screens as players travel between the diverse and chaotic regions of its world. Designed to be the most expansive and open-ended entry yet, Borderlands 4 aims to deliver a massive looter-shooter experience in a surprisingly streamlined package.
