What to know
- SHiFT codes usually grant Golden Keys (or cosmetics) and are often time-limited.
- You must have a SHiFT account and link your platform account (Steam/PSN/Xbox) to claim rewards.
- Redeeming works either in-game (Social → SHiFT/Rewards) or on the official SHiFT website; rewards then appear in your in-game mailbox.
- Each code is usually redeemable once per SHiFT account; expired/region-locked codes won’t work. Check the latest lists when you use a code.

How to redeem your ShiFT key in two ways
You can either redeem them online on the developer's website or do it in-game itself. Both the guides are given below.
Option 1: Redeeming on the official SHiFT website (step-by-step)
Step 1:
Go to shift.gearboxsoftware.com and sign in (or create a SHiFT account).

Step 2:
In your account, link your platform account (Steam/PSN/Xbox).

Step 3:
Click the Sign in button to start connecting the platform on which you have the game to your SHiFT account. When done successfully, it will show "unlink" as shown below.

Step 4:
Go to the Rewards / Redeem tab, paste the code, and confirm.

Step 5:
Paste the code here.

Step 6:
When successfully redeemed, you will see this message.

Some codes may may work on a specific platform only, for example, one code above asks for 2K account.

Option 2: Redeeming SHiFT codes in-game (step-by-step)
If you wish to redeem the SHiFT codes from within the game, then follow the guide below.
Step 1:
Launch Borderlands 4 and sign into your usual platform account (Steam/PSN/Xbox Live).
Step 2:
From the main menu, open Social (or the SHiFT tab) → look for Rewards / Redeem Code.
Step 3:
Paste or type the 25-character code (hyphens may auto-format).
Step 4:
Confirm redeem.
Step 5:
Open your in-game mailbox or SHiFT rewards UI and claim the Golden Key. If it doesn’t appear, log out and back in.
How to use Golden Keys you redeemed
Step 1: Claim the Golden Key from your in-game mailbox.
Step 2: Find any Golden Chest in a hub area.
Step 3: Interact, confirm you want to spend a Golden Key, and open it.
Step 4: Collect the randomized high-rarity loot and repeat when you have more keys.
Troubleshooting: when a code won’t redeem
Step 1: Double-check formatting (no extra spaces, correct characters).
Step 2: Verify the code hasn’t expired or been region-locked.
Step 3: Confirm your platform account is linked in your SHiFT account.
Step 4: Remember each code works once per SHiFT account.
Step 5: If the reward doesn’t show, relog or restart the game.
Step 6: Still broken? Contact Gearbox/SHiFT support with your code, platform, and screenshots.
