The ‘Borderlands 4’ Character Shorts Are Doing Their Job Right

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-10-30 04:03:49

Gearbox and 2K is set to release Borderlands 4 in a mere two weeks, the latest entry in their looter-shooter franchise. And for the last month or so, the studio has slowly peeled back the curtain on the game’s four playable Vault Hunters through gameplay breakdowns and short narrative videos. Borderlands 4 takes place on a brand new planet called Kairos, where the Vault Hunters—Siren Vex, Exo-Soldier Rafa, Forgeknight Amon, and Gravitar Harlowe—join up with the world’s resistance fighters to br

Switch 2 owners can play Borderlands 4 on October 3

engadget.com Unknown 2026-01-06 21:06:51

Switch 2 owners won't have long to wait for Borderlands 4. On Tuesday, Gearbox founder and CEO Randy Pitchford said it will arrive on October 3. While some had worried the game would be pushed back to 2026, it will land on Nintendo's console less than a month after other platforms. Pitchford's video begins with a sober build toward what sounds like bad news. Just when you think he's about to announce a delay, he turns into an excited 10-year-old, yelling about the game's October release date. "

Trump Wants Border Surveillance Towers That Only Palmer Luckey Can Build

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2026-01-28 16:35:56

Part of Donald Trump’s One Big, Beautiful Bill—the massive spending bill that will make permanent tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans while gutting social services like Medicaid—calls for new surveillance towers for U.S. Customs and Border Protection to use on the northern and southern borders. That’s pretty standard procedure, except for one catch that The Intercept picked up on: the description of the project basically only fits the work of Palmer Luckey’s Anduril Industries.

US government seeks tool to find ‘hidden language’ in messages on your phone

The United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is seeking pitches from tech companies for a forensic tool intended to find “hidden language” in messages on smartphones searched at the border … The CPB says that it expects companies to propose modified versions of software they already have working, as there isn’t time to devise something from scratch.

Borderlands 4 has some clear runway now that Grand Theft Auto VI is coming next year instead of this year.

Stripe’s former growth lead helps African diaspora invest in startups, real estate

techcrunch.com Tage Kene-Okafor 2026-03-11 21:30:00

When Joe Kinvi joined Touchtech Payments in 2017 as head of finance, the Irish startup couldn’t afford his full salary. So he negotiated for stock to make up the difference. Eighteen months later, Stripe acquired the company, and that equity converted into Stripe shares, enough to let Kinvi leave his job, bootstrap a side project, and eventually found a startup. That startup, Borderless, is now helping Africans in the diaspora collectively invest in startups and real estate back home. Since lau

Borderlands 4 recommended specs call for an RTX 3080 and 32GB RAM

techspot.com Rob Thubron 2026-03-15 15:22:00

A hot potato: Now that people are no longer angry over Borderlands 4 possibly costing $80 (it's actually $70 for the standard edition), something else is causing plenty of outrage: the game's PC requirements. Asking for an RTX 3080 as the recommended GPU does seem excessive, and even the minimum specs are higher than expected. Borderlands 4's system requirements on its Steam page are certainly higher than one would expect. Even the bare minimum requirements, where we usually see ancient and/or

Borderlands 4 pre-orders open at $70, avoiding feared $80 price tag

What just happened? The situation around Borderlands 4's potential $80 price has seen outcry, outrage, and a very poorly-worded X post from CEO Randy Pitchford. But fear not: the game is now available for pre-order at $70 for the standard version. With more new games costing $80, there were fears that Borderlands 4 would follow this trend. But the game has landed on Steam ahead of its September 12 launch with a $70/£60/€70 price tag. That's for the standard edition. There's also a $100/£90/€10

Borderlands 4, the latest entry in Gearbox Software's popular looter shooter franchise, is available to pre-order now for $70, a good $10 less than many assumed it would cost. The game's price first came into question when its September 12 release date was announced without pre-order details, and Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford suggested that whether the game came with a $80 price tag was out of his hands. Pitchford put his foot in his mouth in a thread on X sharing a behind-the-scenes video about

There’s finally some good news for anyone battling multiple Thread networks while using Matter devices in their smart home — as long as you’re the patient type. According to Matter Alpha, the tvOS 26 beta announced at WWDC this week adds Thread 1.4 to Apple TVs.
