Looking Ahead to 2026: The Year of C4SH

While the current player count has stabilized after the initial launch, Gearbox has a massive roadmap planned to keep the momentum going into 2026.

The biggest news on the horizon is the introduction of the game's first DLC Vault Hunter: C4SH. Scheduled for early next year, C4SH is expected to shake up the meta significantly. Bringing a new character into the mix is a bold move by Gearbox to reignite the player base and prove that Borderlands 4 has the long-term legs to carry the franchise forward.

Final Thoughts

Between the ongoing holiday events and these free SHiFT codes, there’s plenty of reason to jump back into the Borderlands this week. Grab those keys, unlock the Golden Chest, and see if you can pull a Legendary to carry you into the new year!
