by

Enthusiasts of first-person shooter games with looting elements are buzzing with excitement, as they’ll soon get to play Borderlands 4 – the latest addition to the globally acclaimed series – coming out in a few hours (September 11/12, 2025). Recognized for its vast collection of collectibles, this game is also praised for its engaging multiplayer and cooperative modes. Shooting down anything that moves while trying to stay alive can be much more fun with companions by your side. It’s only natural that players are curious about online features like crossplay and the number of people who can join in co-op play simultaneously. Let’s delve into it!

Is there crossplay in Borderlands 4?

The highly anticipated game, Borderlands 4, will be coming to PC (Steam, Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S soon. Interestingly, it’s also planned for the Nintendo Switch 2, but not until 2025. Given this, crossplay is an ideal option for gamers who wish to play with friends across various platforms. It’s no wonder that there’s curiosity about whether this feature will be incorporated in Borderlands 4, considering its popularity in numerous other titles.

Absolutely, you can do it! Players linking their SHiFT Accounts with Borderlands 4 can enjoy cross-platform multiplayer gaming across any device they prefer. However, please be aware that if you opt for console play, you’ll also require a subscription service like PS Plus for access to online features.

How many players can play in coop in Borderlands 4?

The fantastic news is that players can engage in cooperative play regardless of their platform. Now, let me clarify something important – how many individuals can participate simultaneously? For online multiplayer, it caters to 4 participants, while for split-screen mode, it accommodates 2 players. Whether this number is adequate or insufficient is a subjective matter. However, it’s worth noting that cooperative play has been a tradition in the Borderlands series, with the ability to create a lobby hosting up to four people or add an extra player in split-screen mode across most platforms supporting the game. The exception to this rule applies to Borderlands 3 on Nintendo Switch; this console supports co-op gaming for only one additional player.
