Ties Between Epic Games and Borderlands
Borderlands 3 was initially launched in 2019. The game came out on all major platforms at the time, including PlayStation 4, Microsoft Windows, and the Xbox One. The game was initially exclusive to the Epic Games Store on Windows. The developers, Gearbox Software, have robustly supported the game throughout the three years of its existence. The game has seen several expansions, including numerous DLCs, missions, weapons, and story expansions. Epic Games is giving away all these along with the base version of the game.
Alongside these free games, Epic Games is also running a massive sale on several titles. Over 1,600 titles are discounted, and users can also get a 25% off coupon that can land further markdowns on games.
