Borderlands 4 brings intense action, badass Vault Hunters, and billions of wild and deadly weapons to an all-new planet ruled by a ruthless tyrant. Crash into Kairos as one of four new Vault Hunters seeking wealth and glory. Wield powerful Action Skills, customize your build with deep skill trees, and dominate enemies with dynamic movement abilities. Break free from the oppressive Timekeeper, a ruthless dictator who dominates the masses from on high. Now a world-altering catastrophe threatens his perfect Order, unleashing Mayhem across the planet.

Astro Bot fans have another chance to get a DualSense Controller themed around the adorable little robot. Preorders for PlayStation's Astro Bot Joyful Limited Edition DualSense open tomorrow, September 12, at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET. The remixed version of the incredibly popular DualSense launches October 30.

PlayStation hasn't officially confirmed pricing details, but we'd expect the controller to retail for $85 like other recent Limited Edition DualSense models. Like the original, the Astro Bot Joyful edition will be sold at PlayStation Direct and participating major retailers. In the US, this likely means Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and GameStop.

Astro Bot Joyful Limited Edition DualSense Controller $85 | Releases October 30

As the "Joyful" moniker suggests, the 2025 edition makes one change to the design: Astro's eyes on the touchpad match his smiling face from the PS5 game. The original edition depicted Astro's eyes as circles. The updated design matches Astro's face on the game's cover art.

Outside of that small, but noticeable alteration, this is the same controller that launched in September 2024.

The white and blue color scheme simply looks fantastic, so it's not surprising this controller was popular enough to warrant a second edition. It's arguably the best-looking Limited Edition DualSense yet. It also helps that Astro Bot is one of the best 3D platformers ever made and has a strong argument for best overall PS5 game.

Note: The links below are search results where you can expect to find the controller once retailers create store pages. We will update with direct store pages once available.

Red Dead Redemption for Nintendo Switch

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy for Nintendo Switch

$30 (was $60)

See at Amazon

Red Dead Redemption is getting a new physical edition for Nintendo Switch with a lower price point. Amazon is taking preorders for the $30 edition ahead of its September 15 launch. If you already own Red Dead for Switch, there's no reason to get this edition, as it's exactly the same as the 2023 edition. Red Dead Redemption still retails for $50 on the eShop, and the original physical edition sells for that price, too. So if you pick up RDR on Switch in the near future, make sure you buy the version with a $30 MSRP. The full game and the Undead Nightmare expansion are on the cartridge.

Red Dead's rerelease arrives on the heels of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy's new physical edition. Launched last month for $30, the new GTA physical edition is the same scenario: nothing new but much lower price. GTA: The Trilogy still retails for $60 on the eShop, and the old physical edition often sells for around that price, too.

Red Dead Redemption for Nintendo Switch $30 (was $50) | Releases September 15

As for the game? Red Dead Redemption is a spaghetti western that nails the mythic appeal of being a cowboy. The game doesn't stray far from the open-world template that Rockstar Games perfected with its previous GTA releases, as you're given the freedom to explore, get up to mischief, and take on jobs from a colorful assortment of characters you'll meet along the way.

You'll get to experience Marston’s journey across the sprawling expanses of the American Wild West and Mexico as he fights to bury his blood-stained past and protect his family. This version of the game also includes the expansion Undead Nightmare, a horror-themed adventure in which the world around you has been transformed into an apocalyptic landscape overrun with zombies.

On a technical level, this is also an impressive port for the Switch, as the game reaches 720p and 30fps in handheld mode, 1080p and 30fps in docked mode. There haven't been any updates to it for the Switch 2 console, but load times are better on Nintendo's new hardware.

Preorder at Amazon Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy for Nintendo Switch $30 (was $60)

If you also want to explore the city streets of the modern age, check out Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition's new budget-friendly edition. As mentioned, this collection originally sold for $60, and the recently released physical edition is the only version for Switch with the $30 MSRP. GTA: The Trilogy includes three PS2-era classics: GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas.

While the collection launched in an admittedly rough state, several patches have significantly overhauled the experience, and while it's not perfect, it is in a much better state now.

Note: The physical cart includes GTA 3 and San Andreas, but you'll need to download Vice City to complete the set. The download is roughly 10GB. There was some confusion surrounding this at first, as the promotional box set didn't have the "Download Required" label on the cover. Amazon has since updated the image. We also tested the rerelease and can confirm we had to download Vice City from the eShop.

Borderlands 4 is chock-full of more loot than you'll know what to do with during your time on Kairos. From ordinance to weapons to shields, the amount of loot you can acquire in just a brief playthrough is staggering. Of course, most of this loot will end up sold to a vending machine or left on the ground for some wandering Psychos to pick up.

However, the same can't be said for loot that you receive from a Golden Chest. Golden Chests offer extremely rare items in Borderlands 4 that will provide an immediate jolt to your inventory. The chests can only be opened with Golden Keys, which you'll mostly acquire through active Shift Codes that you redeem. While it might be tempting to immediately open a Golden Chest once you get a Golden Key, that's not necessarily how you want to use the rare item in Borderlands 4.

Golden Chests have some caveats in Borderlands 4

For starters, Golden Chests are only located in a few, specific locations around Kairos in Borderlands 4, so you can't open them as soon as you start playing the game. However, after you've done a few missions and gotten a decent chunk of playtime in, you'll come across your first Golden Chest. While you might want to open the chest right away if you have a Golden Key on you, that's not the most efficient move.

Borderlands 4 is out now on PC, and a number of issues have cropped up as the game sets records on Steam. On the Borderlands Support site, Gearbox lays out some of the known issues so far and has provided workarounds for some issues.

Compiling shaders

To begin with, Gearbox reminded people that it's a good idea to ensure your drivers are updated, since doing that alone can fix some issues. For issues compiling shaders, Gearbox said they should take about 10 minutes to compile, and if it's taking longer, you can try rebooting the game and your system.

If that doesn't sort out the issue, you can clear the shader cache. Here's how:

Developer Gearbox has revealed that Borderlands 4 players can pick up two legendary weapons by watching the looter-shooter on Twitch. To start, the Midnight Defiance sniper rifle will be available by viewing two hours of partnered creators playing the game from now through September 30.

Players can also claim a legendary shotgun called the Forsaken Chaos by viewing two hours of the game via the Borderlands 4 category on Twitch (just make sure Drops are enabled). Gearbox notes on the Borderlands website that Midnight Defiance and Forsaken Chaos can't be earned at the same time, so collectively a person would need to watch four hours of the game to obtain both legendary weapons.

The Midnight Defiance legendary sniper rifle will be available as a Twitch Drop for Borderlands 4 from now through September 30.

If watching hours of Borderlands 4 sounds like a bit too much, you can also grab a "Watch, Drop, and Roll" ECHO-4 Drone Skin by viewing 20 minutes of the game on either the official Borderlands 4 Twitch channel or Gearbox Twitch channel. This skin will be available through September 26.

The cinematic trailer for Borderlands 4 has arrived just ahead of launch. The trailer shows the game's new set of Vault Hunters in action, and the footage is accompanied by the fast tempo of "Birds" by Turnstile. Familiar Borderlands characters can also be spotted in the cinematic chaos.

This latest installment of Gearbox's looter-shooter lets players explore the dangerous planet of Kairos, which is ruled by a dictator known as the Timekeeper. Vex, Rafa, Amon, and Harlowe serve as the four playable Vault Hunters for Borderlands 4, who can all be seen using their unique abilities in the trailer as they attempt to break free of the Timekeeper's oppression.

While the game primarily focuses on a new planet and cast of characters, the trailer does highlight a few staple characters of the Borderlands series, including the iconic bartender Mad Moxxi and the annoying robot known as Claptrap. The gameplay features new traversal mechanics like double jumping, gliding, dodging, and fixed-point grappling, and there are plenty of new guns to loot. Borderlands 4 will support Shift codes, and here are all known codes and how to redeem them.
