Borderlands 3 Gets Surprise New Update 4 Years After Launch
Borderlands 3 received a surprise new update on August 31, 2023, more than four years after its initial release. The update adds new customization options, including four new Vault Hunter heads, four new Vault Hunter skins, four new weapon trinkets, and one new global weapon skin. It also adds some difficult-to-obtain cosmetics to Crazy Earl’s Shop, making it a lot easier for Borderlands 3 players to complete their cosmetics collection.
The update was released to coincide with the launch of Borderlands Collection: Pandora’s Box, a collection that includes the core trilogy, The Pre-Sequel, and both Tales from the Borderlands games. The collection is available now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
It is unclear if this will be the final update for Borderlands 3, but it is a nice gesture from Gearbox Software to continue to support the game after so many years. The game has been a commercial success, selling over 15 million copies worldwide. It has also received critical acclaim, with a Metacritic score of 81.
If you are a fan of Borderlands 3, then you will be happy to know that there is still new content to enjoy. The new update adds a few new customization options, but it is also a nice way to celebrate the game’s continued popularity.
