The Gilded Glory Pack, a pre-order bonus for Borderlands 4, has been significantly enhanced to now include four legendary gear items. Gearbox made this exciting announcement on September 9, just three days before the game`s eagerly anticipated September 12 launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
For those looking to secure their copy, two distinct physical editions are available: the Standard Edition for $70 and the Super Deluxe Edition priced at $130. Additionally, the GameStop-exclusive Echo-4 Collector`s Bundle remains an option for $150. This bundle is packed with collectibles, including an Echo-4 statue featuring LED lights, but it`s important to note that the game itself is not part of this specific package.
Xbox and PC players might also be interested in the officially licensed PowerA Special Edition Wireless Controller, which is set to release on the same day as the game.
While the standard edition of Borderlands 4 is available for pre-order on Nintendo Switch 2, players on this platform will have a slightly later start, with their release date set for October 3.

The Standard Edition of Borderlands 4, priced at $70, includes the base game along with the Gilded Glory Pack pre-order bonus. For the Nintendo Switch 2, the physical edition is provided as a game-key card, requiring a digital download from the eShop after the card is inserted.
Borderlands 4 Super Deluxe Edition
For $130, the Super Deluxe Edition is available for PS5 and Xbox Series X. This edition comes with two extra bundles of launch DLC, featuring additional missions, challenges, and bosses. It also includes the Vault Hunter Pack, which functions as a season pass, granting access to Borderlands 4`s post-launch story expansions, new regions, additional Vault Hunters, and more.

Borderlands 4 Echo-4 Bundle (GameStop Exclusive)
GameStop offers an exclusive collector`s item called the Echo-4 Bundle. Priced at $150, this bundle is designed for collectors rather than including the game itself. This approach, where collector`s editions are sold separately from the game, has become common among publishers, allowing players to choose their preferred platform for the game while still acquiring unique physical merchandise.
- 8-inch Echo-4 statue with LED lights
- 17-inch polyester map of Kairos
- Vault symbol necklace
- 4 double-sided lithograph art prints (8 x 10 inches)
- Shift Code for 5 Golden Keys
For those interested in delving into the creative process behind Borderlands 4 and its distinctive visual style, “The Art of Borderlands 4” book is scheduled for release on October 7. This 224-page hardcover volume will feature concept art, illustrations, and behind-the-scenes production materials detailing the game`s development. Additionally, fans can look forward to new Borderlands novels, comics, and even a cookbook launching soon.
