How to fix Borderlands 4 not working
Borderlands 4 is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach borderlands.2k.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Quit the Borderlands 4 session
Do a full close first, because suspend and Quick Resume can leave the game stuck at sign-in or matchmaking. On Windows, press Ctrl+Shift+Esc, select the game process in Task Manager, and choose End task; on Steam Deck, press the Steam button and choose Exit Game. On PS5, press the PS button, highlight the game, press Options, then choose Close Game; on Xbox, press the Xbox button, highlight the game, press Menu, then choose Quit.
Install the latest game update
A mismatched build can block co-op or leave you on a menu that keeps trying to connect. On Steam, open Library, right-click the game, select Properties, Updates, and keep Automatic Updates on; on Epic Games Launcher, open Library, select the three dots on the game tile, choose Manage, then turn Auto Update on. On PS5, highlight the game, press Options, then Check for Update; on Xbox, open My games & apps, Manage, Updates, and install anything listed for the game.
Repair the PC install
Use this if the game crashes on launch, hangs on a loading screen, or complains about missing local files. On Steam, open Library, right-click Borderlands 4, select Properties, Installed Files, then Verify integrity of game files. On Epic Games Launcher, open Library, select the three dots on the game tile, choose Manage, then Verify.
Reinstall the local copy
Save this for repeat crashes after updates and repair checks, since the download can be large. On PS5, highlight the game, press Options, choose Delete, then install it again from Game Library; on Xbox, open My games & apps, See all, Games, highlight the game, press Menu, choose Uninstall, then reinstall it from Full library. On Steam, right-click the game in Library, choose Manage, Uninstall, then install it again; on Epic Games Launcher, open Library, select the three dots on the game tile, choose Uninstall, then reinstall it from Library.
While Borderlands 4 is down: what to use instead
- Borderlands 3 Pick it if you want a similar loot shooter session and already have it installed.
- Tiny Tina's Wonderlands Use it when your group still wants co-op shooting with gear drops, but can switch to a fantasy setting.
- Destiny 2 Try it if you want an online shooter with missions and co-op while Borderlands 4 is unavailable.
- Diablo IV Use it if loot and builds matter more to you than gunplay for the night.
Problems at the same time as Borderlands 4
Since 3 November, Borderlands 4's only spike in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.
When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

What happens when Borderlands 4 goes down
Borderlands 4 is a 2K game on the Borderlands site, built around the series' co-op looter shooter formula. US players rely on it for online play and official game pages, so an outage can block a session before you even join friends.
Co-op and matchmaking tend to fail first when the service has trouble; invites may fail, or the game may sit at a connecting screen. The website can break in a different way, with news or media pages timing out while other 2K pages still load. Problems can be partial or regional, so one platform or area may have reports while another still gets into the game. The status at the top comes only from public outage reports, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours against the usual level.

How we track Borderlands 4
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Borderlands 4, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Borderlands 4, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Borderlands 4 doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
