Borderlands 3's release date is coming up later this week: It officially arrives on Friday, September 13.

Developer Gearbox has confirmed when the first-person looter-shooter will unlock on PS4, Xbox One, and PC; you can see exactly when you can begin playing below. But whatever the case, if you've pre-ordered a digital copy, you can start pre-loading right now on all platforms.
