Borderlands 4 received a minor update from Gearbox Software and 2K, which went live on September 15, 2025, and improves crossplay across all platforms. PC users may briefly see a command window appear; this behavior is expected and will not harm their systems. Players should restart the game if it is currently running so the update can finish applying. The official update notes list the same guidance.
The patch is intentionally small and focused on connection behaviour rather than new features or content. If a pop-up appears, it can be closed, then the game can be relaunched to complete the update. The announcement emphasizes that the brief command window is a normal side effect and does not indicate a problem with hardware or files. Players in mixed-platform parties may notice changes to session handling after the restart.
Patch Notes

Please restart Borderlands 4 if you’re currently playing to ensure that this update goes through. You may close the pop-up if it appears. We apologize for the inconvenience!
