Borderlands 4 gears up for 2026 with a mix of free upgrades and paid DLC

Borderlands 4 unveils a busy 2026 roadmap: the first major update adds Photo Mode, followed by a stream of free QoL improvements (level cap increase, cross‑platform saves, shared progression, more free events) and substantial endgame additions (new raid bosses, takedowns). Paid content includes Bounty Pack 2 with new mission and cosmetics, Pearlescent gear, and the Mad Ellie and Vault of the Damned Story Pack, plus a new playable character, C4SH, with plans extending into Q2–Q3 2026.
