Gearbox Chief’s AI Selfie Sparks Debate on AI Identity

Randy Pitchford shared a ChatGPT-generated selfie to critique the idea of AI having an identity, clarifying he uses AI mainly as a search tool on personal devices and that Gearbox bans AI in any work seen by customers; the image was created from a prompt asking AI to imagine itself as if it worked at Gearbox, while Pitchford downplayed links to patch notes rumors and noted Take-Two’s broader AI plans as Borderlands 4’s sales improve over time.

Borderlands Mobile Joins the Franchise, Free-to-Play Test Hits iOS

2K/Gearbox launched Borderlands Mobile for iOS as a free-to-play, mission-based looter shooter developed by Zynga’s NaturalMotion. It’s not Borderlands 5 or a mainline title, but a limited-time mobile test with Gearbox providing creative guidance. The release appears unfinished (early access feel, limited character customization, no trailer yet), and 2K says the project is a placeholder name for a temporary Borderlands mobile experiment meant to gauge player feedback before any broader push.

Borderlands 4's $30 DLC Sparks Backlash Over Value

Borderlands 4's $30 DLC Sparks Backlash Over Value

Borderlands 4’s first big post-launch expansion, Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned, adds a new region and a fresh Vault Hunter but critics say the package is barely worth its $30 price tag: the main quest can be completed in about 2–3 hours and the new area is only a fraction the size of the opening map, prompting mixed reactions on Steam even as PSN ratings are higher. Gearbox frames the DLC as a focused horror-adventure rather than loot farming, and a Vault Hunter Pack offering both story packs and two new characters for $50 may offer better value for players planning to buy both expansions.

Verstappen hampered by worsened gear-shift woes as Red Bull's new engine debuts

Max Verstappen endured a tricky Chinese Grand Prix weekend as Red Bull’s new in-house engine was described as worsening long-standing gear-shift issues; after qualifying eighth and branding the RB22 as 'uncontrollable' in the Sprint, starting from P20 and finishing ninth with no points, pundits argued the RBPT‑Ford power unit worsens downshift/upshift balance and car stability.

Borderlands 4 Gets Pearlescent Loot With Legend of the Stone Demon DLC

Borderlands 4's Legend of the Stone Demon DLC (Bounty Pack 2) adds a Kairos-based story mission with three mini-bosses and a final boss, plus Pearlescent loot across the game—including a Vault Card with 24 cosmetics and four re-rollable gear items, along with new Vault Hunter skins, a vehicle skin, and a Drone skin. Pearlescent loot isn’t gated to Bounty Pack 2 owners and will appear in other content and a future world event; the premium add-on launches February 26, 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC (the first Bounty Pack was free).
