Anticipation is building for Borderlands 4, set to launch on September 12. The game promises an expansive open world, innovative traversal, and endless looter-shooter action, keeping players engaged for months. This article addresses common questions about its cross-platform compatibility: specifically, whether you can play with friends on different systems or transfer your game saves across platforms.
Does Borderlands 4 have cross-play?
Yes, Borderlands 4 fully supports cross-play across all platforms, enabling players to team up with friends regardless of their chosen gaming system for some intense lootin` and shootin`.
To utilize cross-play, players must register for a SHiFT account, which is essentially a Gearbox account. Without it, multiplayer functionality will be restricted to players on the same platform.
Beyond cross-play, a SHiFT account offers additional perks, such as redeeming SHiFT codes for exclusive in-game items. These codes are frequently released during various promotions, so keeping an eye out for them can yield valuable rewards.
Does Borderlands 4 have cross-progression?
Information regarding Borderlands 4`s cross-progression or cross-save features is currently unavailable. Given that the franchise`s two most recent titles, Borderlands 3 and Tiny Tina`s Wonderlands, lacked this functionality, its inclusion in Borderlands 4 remains uncertain. While cross-save would be a highly welcomed addition, players should note that even with this feature, purchasing the game on each desired platform would still be necessary to transfer save data.
Borderlands 4 is scheduled for release on September 12 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC. A Nintendo Switch 2 version will follow a few weeks later, arriving on October 3.
