Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford spoke to GamesRadar+ during Gamescom 2025 about soon-to-be-released Borderlands 4 and how he's glad new hardware can finally match the looter shooter's perfection.

"With Borderlands 4 – when you talk about evolution – I think we're finally able to have a point where the technology and the hardware has caught up to the ambition of what our game is," Pitchford says while discussing how the looter shooter genre has changed since the first Borderlands game introduced it in 2009.
