Where To Watch Borderlands: Showtimes & Streaming Status

Summary Borderlands movie features star-studded cast, accurate characters, and attention to detail for long-time fans to enjoy.

Theatrical release on August 9, 2024, with no premium format options, making it a quick PG-13 watch.

Streaming release on Starz expected in early 2025, with potential for a digital release as early as September 2024.

The live-action Borderlands movie is finally here, and where to watch the video game movie could depend on timing. After the continued success of the Gearbox and 2K video game, Lionsgate began developing a movie adaptation in 2015. Progress eventually moved forward to the points where Borderlands' cast became filled with recognizable stars, ranging from Cate Blanchett to Kevin Hart and Jamie Lee Curtis. Each is responsible for bringing various Borderlands video game characters to life in live-action for the first time, and for what could be the start of a new franchise.

The timing of Borderlands' release could be great, as several other video game movie adaptations have helped break the perceived "video game movie curse" from years past. Lionsgate is betting on that continuing so that an entire cinematic universe based around the franchise and Cate Blanchett's Lilith can be born. With video game accurate characters and locations, the attention to detail is enough to get longtime fans excited about the potential for what director Eli Roth has delivered. Anyone wanting to watch Borderlands is only left with a choice to make regarding when and where.

Close

There is currently no confirmed streaming release date for Borderlands, but the movie will debut on Starz first at the proper time due to Lionsgate. The studio has one of the longest wait periods between theatrical and streaming releases, with most titles waiting nearly 180 days to make the move. This means that anyone wanting to watch the 2024 video game movie on streaming will likely have to wait until 2025 to do so. Lionsgate's history creates a projection that Borderlands could release on streaming in February 2025 or maybe slightly earlier in January.

Borderlands will stream on Peacock during the Pay 2 window, which comes after the Starz release

When Will Borderlands Release On Digital?

The option to watch Borderlands at home without needing a streaming service subscription is possible once it releases on digital. Lionsgate has yet to announce when this will be, although the studio has various schedule templates it uses for its movies. The average wait time for a Lionsgate movie to go to digital is one month. It can happen within 18 or 21 days of a film's release if its box office struggles. The likely outcome is Borderlands might release on digital in September 2024. A massive overperformance would need to happen to delay Borderlands' digital release any further.
