The company thanked fans, noting few series reach the figure. 2K also said content production for Borderlands 4 continues beyond the Year 1 roadmap, which included new Vault Hunter DLC, with specifics to be announced later.","whyItMatters":"The 100 million figure puts Borderlands in the same cumulative-sales band 2K's own announcement places Dragon Quest in after that series crossed the mark in September 2026, and the promise of Borderlands 4 content past Year 1 signals the publisher is treating the latest entry as a long-running platform rather than a finished release.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003e2K did not give a breakdown by title or platform, and it did not set a date for the next content announcement.
