Borderlands games in order: Chronological and release

The Borderlands universe has grown massively, from a first-person looter-shooter video game into an immense sci-fi sandbox. Now, as we're preparing for Borderlands 4's big arrival later in 2025, we've rounded up the Borderlands games in order.

Despite some ups and downs, the Borderlands games are generally pretty good... as long as you can stand an onslaught of quips and jokes as you blast your way through psychos, alien beasts, robots, and whatnot. Their comedy can be hit-or-miss, and outdated at times, but the humor that does land is quite good.
