With Borderlands 4 launching this September, developer Gearbox is offering free SHiFT codes that unlock 3 golden keys for any Borderlands game. Here's everything you need to know about this limited-time giveaway!
Borderlands Drops Free SHiFT Code for Golden Keys
3 Golden/Skeleton Keys Available for Each Borderlands Title
Borderlands players are getting a special treat - Gearbox has released a new SHiFT code granting three Golden or Skeleton Keys per game. As announced by CEO Randy Pitchford on X (formerly Twitter), this generous offer comes with his signature "Good luck, and happy looting!" message.
The active code is: SRFTJ-Z9BR3-3J3TJ-JT3JT-RS6C5 - redeemable either in-game or on Gearbox's SHiFT website until March 27th at 10 AM EDT / 7 AM PDT. This works across multiple Borderlands games:
- Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition
- Borderlands 2
- Borderlands 3
- Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
- Tiny Tina's Wonderlands
Best of all? The same code works for every game, meaning you can potentially score 15 keys total - three for each title!
Borderlands 4 Arrives This Fall

This giveaway isn't just random generosity - Gearbox frequently releases SHiFT codes during special events and upcoming releases. With Borderlands 4 launching on September 23rd, 2025 (following its Gamescom announcement), this could be part of the buildup.
The next chapter promises trademark mayhem with "intense action, new Vault Hunters, and billions of weapons" on the unexplored planet Kairos. Players will battle the tyrannical Timekeeper while facing world-changing catastrophes.
Stay tuned for more Borderlands 4 updates as we approach launch!
