Borderlands 4 Finally Gets A Release Date And It's Before GTA 6
The Borderlands 4 release date was announced by Gearbox Entertainment head Randy Pitchford in Wednesday's PlayStation State of Play alongside a trailer showing off more of the game's combat, including a bunch of dual-wielding loadouts and powers. We still don't know much about the sci-fi sequel's story or new mechanics and quality-of-life features, but it continues to look like it's very much offering the tried-and-true looter shooter formula that fans always show up for.
The lack of new details is probably because Borderlands 4 is getting its own dedicated State of Play showcase later in the year. Until then, fans can mull over the meaning of the previously revealed Timekeeper boss and how past Borderlands games, including the Pre-Sequel, will feed into the latest entry on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
I'm not being dramatic when I say that Borderlands is the only game with a firm fall 2025 release date so far. Other studios and publishers have seemingly been playing a waiting game around precisely when GTA 6's release date, which is currently slated for sometime between the end of September and the end of December, will get announced. There's been no new news about the game since its late 2023 trailer, but parent company Take-Two has been adamant that the game isn't getting delayed.
Now that we know Borderlands 4's release date, it seems like a good bet that GTA 6 will hit sometime in mid-to-late October. Good luck to everything else coming out that month.

Millions are flocking to grow virtual gardens in viral Roblox game created by teenager
" 'The word I keep hearing used over and over to describe this particular game is that it's chill, which is just such a nice alternative. I get a lot of sort of that ' Advertisement FILE - The gaming platform Roblox is displayed on a tablet, Oct. 30, 2021, in New York. (AP Photo/Leon Keith, File) Leon Keith/Associated Press Advertisement Coincidence or not, 'Grow a Garden' soared to popularity around the same time that Take-Two Interactive announced it would delay the launch of its wildly anticipated 'Grand Theft Auto 6″ until next year. In late June, the gardening game logged 21.6 million concurrent players, surpassing 'Fortnite''s previous record of 15.2 million according to Roblox. Analysts who follow Roblox's stock say 'Grow a Garden' is helping boost the company's revenue and will push the company's quarterly earnings numbers above Wall Street's expectations. While it's not clear if the 'GTA' audience flocked to this simple gardening game to pass the time until then, the timing reignited the age-old debate about who gamers are and what titles are taken seriously by the video game establishment. It happened with 'Candy Crush,' with puzzle games, with 'Animal Crossing.' Are people who play cozy games true gamers? Or is the title reserved for the folks who shoot enemies in 'Call of Duty' or drive around creating mayhem in 'GTA'? 'There's a huge percentage of gamers that play Roblox and the actual industry just views it as like this esoterically immature platform of weird gameplay habits,' said Janzen Madsen, the New Zealand-based CEO and founder of Splitting Point studios, which acquired the game from its teenage creator. 'Well, I actually think in five years this is what player expectation is gonna be. And because you guys haven't embraced it, like you're not going to know how to make games.' Advertisement To start growing your garden, you'll need a Roblox account. The game will start you out with an empty plot and some money — sheckles — and a starter seed. From there, you can plant seeds, harvest and sell your crops and buy more seeds, animals or tools for your garden. While it is possible to play the game without spending real-world money, it will take longer. Once you sell enough crops, you earn money to buy more expensive seeds beyond basic carrots and blueberries. 'For me, I just, I really want to get all the rarest stuff. I'm a completionist, so I want everything and that's what's fun for me,' said For Roblox, which has faced a backlash for New players get help from more established peers who send them gifts and let them know when rare seeds become available in the seed shop. Advertisement Bozdech said that 'if you have the right supervision and guidance,' Roblox can be a positive experience for kids, allowing them to create their own designs or practice coding, for instance. 'Something like 'Grow a Garden,' particularly, is a nice opportunity maybe for parents and kids to play together,' she said. And perhaps the slow cultivating of a magical garden can benefit parents, too. 'It's hitting a nerve, you know?' Bozdech said. 'People need an escape from the world, I think we all do.'

Hamilton revealed his interest in gaming, mentioning Call of Duty, Gran Turismo, and Assassin's Creed as his favorite games. Speaking during the Belgian Grand Prix weekend, Hamilton was on stage with his teammate Charles Leclerc when he admitted that he was an avid gamer. The Briton said: "I'm a big gamer. Is anyone here a big gamer? I play a lot of Call of Duty for sure. Something I enjoy. But I like Assassin's Creed. "What else? Gran Turismo. I'm dying for the new Grand Theft Auto to come out. GTA 6."

Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Scuderia Ferrari speaks in the Drivers Press Conference during previews ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Belgium at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps on July 24, 2025 in Spa, the host exclaimed he was a proper gamer, Hamilton continued, saying: "Yeah that's the one I'm waiting for. I'll have to cancel all my work when that game comes out." Lewis will cancel all his work when GTA6 comes out 😂 — LH44(A) (@LH44Fanpage8) July 27, 2025 Rockstar Games recently confirmed that GTA 6 will be released on May 26, 2026, for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. A second trailer of the game was dropped two months ago. Hamilton still has nearly a year to go before he can enjoy GTA 6 in 2026. The year also marks F1's entry into a new era of regulations, which will see new cars that are lighter and powered equally by two sources: electric power and internal combustion. The 40-year-old driver recently revealed that he had meetings with top Ferrari executives at Maranello ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix as the team develops the 2026 car. Newsweek Sports reported his comments: "Yeah, I was at the factory for two weeks, a couple of days each week. We did preparation — naturally, going over where we were in the previous race, things that we need to change. I held a lot of meetings, so I've called on lots of meetings with the heads of the team. "I've sat with John [Elkann], Benedetto [Vigna], and Fred [Vasseur] in several meetings. I've sat with the head of car development, with Loic [Serra] and also the heads of different departments — talking about the engine for next year, front suspension for next year, rear suspension for next year, things that you want, issues that I have with this car. "I've sent documents, as I've done throughout the year. After the first few races, I did a full document for the team. Then, during this break, I had another two documents that I sent in. So, then I come in and want to address those. "Some of it's structural adjustments that we need to make as a team in order to get better in all the areas we want to improve. And the other one was really about the car — the current issues that I have with this car. Some things you do want to take on to next year's car, and some that you need to work on changing for next year. "We did development for — tried the 2026 car for the first time and started work on that. Thirty engineers come into the room, and you sit and debrief with every single one of them. So, big, big push. And otherwise just training — maybe a little bit too hard, a bit heavy this weekend."
