Okay, so here’s the thing about Borderlands 4. I mean, after all the chatter, Gearbox finally spills the beans. Photo Mode is coming! Well, sorta. Not right off the bat when the game drops on September 12, but later. Imagine waiting for your favorite band’s album only to find out the bonus track isn’t included. Yeah, it’s like that.
Photo Mode, right? This nifty feature lets you snap those epic in-game moments with cool tweaks. Filters, depth of field, it’s practically Photoshop for your game. And honestly, in this age of eye-candy graphics, not having it at launch feels kinda like serving a burger without fries.
Graeme Timmins, the creative mind behind Borderlands 4, hopped onto social media Tuesday morning—because where else do big reveals happen?—and said, “Hey folks, Photo Mode is coming!” Just, not yet. They had other fish to fry, like making the rest of the game playable, which seems fair. After all, playing the game matters, right? They had to polish the bits that directly hit on your in-game life.
A bit of a flashback: Borderlands 3 dropped Photo Mode on PC first, before tossing it to Xbox and PlayStation a month later. Then there’s Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, where everyone got it straight off—no waiting. So yeah, this delay feels a bit meh, especially since Borderlands 4 uses Unreal Engine 5, looking snazzier than ever. Some pretty chunky PC specs needed too.
Of course, I get why they’d focus on making the core game solid instead of rushing features. Better safe than buggy. Hopefully, Photo Mode will slide in soon after launch. Fingers crossed.
By the way, Borderlands 4 is shaping up to be a major hit for 2025. With four new Vault Hunters, it picks up where Borderlands 3 left off, setting things on Kairos—a planet governed by this tyrant, The Timekeeper. Sounds intense, right? It’s coming to all the latest consoles for $69.99. Fancy versions are pricier, topping at $129.99 for the Super Deluxe—because gamers love their special editions.
Anyway—wait, was I talking about burgers or video games? Ah, both are exciting, I guess.
