Yes, Borderlands 4 can be preloaded, but the ability to preload depends on the platform:
- On PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, players can preload Borderlands 4 by pre-purchasing the game and then selecting the preload/download option from the game page or library. The preload started on September 10, ahead of the game's release on September 12, 2025. The preload sizes are about 28.1 GB for PS5 and 29.5 GB for Xbox Series X/S.
- On PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), there currently is no option to preload Borderlands 4. Players can pre-purchase the game and prepare by purchasing in advance, but the actual preload download is not available as of now. The PC download size is about 65 GB at release.
So, if playing on PS5 or Xbox Series X/S, the game can be preloaded. If playing on PC, preloading is not yet available as of the current date (September 12, 2025).
