Today, I\u2019m thrilled to reveal more details about something incredibly special to me: two-player, split-screen multiplayer in <em>Borderlands 4<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>For many of us on the development team, some of our fondest and most formative <em>Borderlands <\/em>memories are the hours we spent playing in split-screen couch co-op. The looter shooter gameplay of the <em>Borderlands <\/em>games has always been a blast while playing solo, but it feels like the fun increases exponentially when you\u2019re playing alongside a friend or loved one. So many of us have bonded over the shared experiences that define two-player split-screen, from finally taking down a difficult boss, to getting an awesome Legendary loot drop, or even just cracking up at something one of our Vault Hunters said during a firefight.<\/p>\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;uploadedSrc&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\\\/sites\\\/2\\\/2025\\\/08\\\/EMBED-1-8ded07d6826c5cc15472-scaled.jpg&quot;,&quot;figureClassNames&quot;:&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;,&quot;figureStyles&quot;:null,&quot;imgClassNames&quot;:&quot;wp-image-210695&quot;,&quot;imgStyles&quot;:null,&quot;targetWidth&quot;:2560,&quot;targetHeight&quot;:1442,&quot;scaleAttr&quot;:false,&quot;ariaLabel&quot;:&quot;Enlarge image: Borderlands 4 Screenshot&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Borderlands 4 Screenshot&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1442\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/EMBED-1-8ded07d6826c5cc15472-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Borderlands 4 Screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-210695\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/EMBED-1-8ded07d6826c5cc15472-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/EMBED-1-8ded07d6826c5cc15472-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/EMBED-1-8ded07d6826c5cc15472-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/EMBED-1-8ded07d6826c5cc15472-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/EMBED-1-8ded07d6826c5cc15472-2048x1154.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"\/><button class=\"lightbox-trigger\" type=\"button\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-label=\"Enlarge image: Borderlands 4 Screenshot\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-style--right=\"context.imageButtonRight\" data-wp-style--top=\"context.imageButtonTop\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\"\/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<p>Multiplayer has always been a core strength of the <em>Borderlands <\/em>series, whether online or split-screen\u2014which is why <em>Borderlands 4<\/em> is designed for co-op from the ground up. We\u2019re incredibly excited to have full crossplay support at launch so you can play with friends wherever they are, with drop-in\/drop-out action for up to four players online (requires SHiFT Account*). That includes the ability to play split-screen locally while you join up with two other players online\u2014you can even get two split-screen duos linked up to form a full party of four!<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve also made it easier than ever to jump into some co-op looter shooter action, from the streamlined lobby system down to the game mechanics themselves. Dynamic level scaling ensures that everyone can contribute to the carnage, so you can always play together regardless of differences between your Vault Hunters\u2019 levels or gear loadouts. That same philosophy applies to the individual difficulty settings. You and your buddies can each tune the encounters to feel as tough or forgiving as you personally like.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll also have the option to fast travel directly to other players, which can be extremely helpful when navigating <em>Borderlands 4<\/em>\u2018s huge, seamless world. The regions of the dangerous new planet Kairos interconnect to create the biggest expanse we\u2019ve ever had in a <em>Borderlands <\/em>game, and you might end up exploring in a totally different direction than your co-op party. The fact that you can cruise around on your personalized Digirunner vehicle at any time, along with the new layer of verticality in the environments, makes it so that you might inadvertently put a <em>lot<\/em> of distance between you and your squad. With party-based fast travel, you can almost instantly join back up after a joyride in the opposite direction or a flubbed jump off the side of a cliff (not that I\u2019ve ever done that, of course).<\/p>\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;uploadedSrc&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\\\/sites\\\/2\\\/2025\\\/08\\\/EMBED-2-819ee78804f8d0d12b54-scaled.jpg&quot;,&quot;figureClassNames&quot;:&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;,&quot;figureStyles&quot;:null,&quot;imgClassNames&quot;:&quot;wp-image-210696&quot;,&quot;imgStyles&quot;:null,&quot;targetWidth&quot;:2560,&quot;targetHeight&quot;:1440,&quot;scaleAttr&quot;:false,&quot;ariaLabel&quot;:&quot;Enlarge image: Borderlands 4 Screenshot&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Borderlands 4 Screenshot&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/EMBED-2-819ee78804f8d0d12b54-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Borderlands 4 Screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-210696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/EMBED-2-819ee78804f8d0d12b54-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/EMBED-2-819ee78804f8d0d12b54-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/EMBED-2-819ee78804f8d0d12b54-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/EMBED-2-819ee78804f8d0d12b54-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/EMBED-2-819ee78804f8d0d12b54-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"\/><button class=\"lightbox-trigger\" type=\"button\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-label=\"Enlarge image: Borderlands 4 Screenshot\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-style--right=\"context.imageButtonRight\" data-wp-style--top=\"context.imageButtonTop\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\"\/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<p><em>Borderlands 4<\/em> also makes for an awesome hangout game no matter how much time you have for a given play session. You\u2019re free to explore as you see fit, and Kairos has engaging Points of Interest to discover in all directions. Shorter co-op sessions are great for claiming Points of Interest in the name of the Crimson Resistance, including safe houses that unlock new fast travel spots or silos with decommissioned Order communications balloons that let you take to the sky, scope out your next target, and aid your search for elusive Vault Key Fragments. Or, if you\u2019re in it for the long haul, you and your party can endeavor to take back entire regions from the Timekeeper\u2019s oppressive grip, clearing out anyone (or anything) foolish enough to get in your way.<\/p>\n<p>I also want to give a quick shoutout to all the amazing Vault Hunter customization options you can unlock, because part of the co-op fun is showing off your sense of style to fellow Vault Hunters.
