Gearbox Software says the Borderlands franchise has surpassed 100 million units sold across the series, while the studio is preparing additional Borderlands 4 content for 2027. The milestone covers the franchise as a whole, not a single game. Gearbox has not provided a breakdown by title or platform, and it has not announced the names or release dates of the content planned for next year.
Gearbox announced in a message to the Borderlands community that the franchise had officially crossed 100 million units sold. Eurogamer and KitGuru reported the announcement on November 2. The original Borderlands game was released in 2009, and the series has since expanded through numbered entries, spin-offs and additional content.
The company did not disclose how the total is divided among the games. The 100 million figure therefore should not be presented as the sales total for Borderlands 4. It is a cumulative franchise milestone that includes the broader series.
Gearbox said the team is working on more Borderlands 4 content for next year, describing the development effort as active. The announcement signals continued support for the current game, but it does not identify specific projects, release dates or the format of the planned updates.
The statement does not clarify whether the 2027 content will consist of major story expansions, smaller additions or a combination of different releases. Players know that more content is planned, but the scale and timing remain open questions.
KitGuru reported that Borderlands 4’s first year of support included two Story Packs, five Bounty Packs, two additional Vault Hunters, two free Raid Boss encounters and an endgame Takedown activity, alongside quality-of-life improvements and gameplay updates. Gearbox also said recurring activities and community challenges would continue.
The studio did not provide revenue figures or player-engagement data for those releases in the franchise milestone announcement. The list describes the types of content delivered, but it does not establish how much each item contributed to sales or how many players participated.
The company said it is taking a broader look at the Borderlands universe, including which characters deserve more attention and which stories should receive further development. Gearbox invited the community to share ideas and feedback. However, the announcement did not reveal a new numbered game, a spin-off or a confirmed production schedule for another project.
The distinction between exploring ideas and announcing a project is important. The message indicates that the studio is considering the series’ future, but it does not mean that a particular sequel or character-focused release has been approved.
The 100 million-unit figure demonstrates the long-term commercial reach of the Borderlands brand. But because it aggregates multiple releases, it cannot be used to calculate Borderlands 4’s individual sales. Gearbox did not publish a title-by-title breakdown, regional split or platform-specific total.
The next concrete information to watch for will be the details of the 2027 Borderlands 4 content plan and any decisions about the wider franchise. For now, the company has confirmed a cumulative sales milestone and a commitment to continue supporting the current game, while leaving the next releases unspecified.
