Released on PC on September 11, 2025, according to Steam, Borderlands 4 is preparing to receive new post-launch content. Gearbox has announced Bounty Pack 4: Murders and Acquisitions for July 30, 2026. The pack will add a replayable mission, a new area on Kairos, one main boss, three mini-bosses and new rewards.
A replayable mission built around the endgame
The trailer introduces Levaine, rival factions and Order technology to recover. For players already invested in endgame progression, the mission's replayable structure is the central attraction. It should provide fresh ground for testing weapons and builds, while the bosses extend Borderlands' familiar loop: fight, collect gear and improve your equipment.
The pack will include Legendary and Pearlescent loot, along with Vault Card 4. Pearlescent items reinforce the focus on hunting rare rewards, although the requirements for obtaining them have not yet been detailed.
The video is available on the official Borderlands YouTube channel. Players can also follow major releases in our latest video game news.
What happens on July 30
July 30, 2026 is the announced release date for Bounty Pack 4 and Vault Card 4. It does not replace the base game's release date: Steam still lists September 11, 2025 as the PC release date for Borderlands 4.
Gearbox is also planning version 1.9 for the same day. The full notes will need to clarify which changes will be free and which will be tied to paid content. No official source retained here confirms a French price or the exact terms of a separate purchase for the pack.
The bundle is included with two editions
Borderlands 4 is available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2. The Steam listing mentions online co-op, cross-platform multiplayer and French language support. Compatibility details and available features can be checked on the official Steam page.
According to Gearbox's DevCast, the Bounty Pack Bundle is included with the Deluxe and Super Deluxe editions. This applies to the Bounty Packs, including the fourth, but does not establish the price of an individual purchase.

A farming-focused addition, not a new campaign
The announced content gives Bounty Pack 4 a clear identity: Gearbox is highlighting a replayable mission, an area, several bosses and loot rather than a major story-driven expansion. By comparison, Borderlands 3 expansions placed greater emphasis on their settings, characters and stories. The comparison remains limited because the full content of Murders and Acquisitions has not yet been detailed.
The editorial team sees this direction as consistent with Borderlands' historical formula, but less immediately clear for players expecting a new campaign. The announced format appears designed primarily to fuel the farming loop, whereas story-driven expansions first sold a new world and a distinctive adventure.
Its appeal will depend on the quality of the rewards and the variety of encounters. An accessible boss, clear objectives and items useful across several builds could extend endgame sessions. With loot rates, acquisition requirements and mission length still unknown, it is too early to judge the pack's value beyond that promise.
Three points remain unclear
- What will the standalone price of Murders and Acquisitions be? This will allow players to compare an individual purchase with access already included in the Bounty Pack Bundle.
- How can Pearlescent items be obtained? The relevant bosses, loot rates and targeting methods will determine the real length of the reward hunt.
- What changes will version 1.9 bring exactly? Fixes and balance adjustments could alter builds at release.
