Among the steepest discounts in Borderlands games that can help with the wait for Borderlands 4. The next installment of the Borderlands franchise was fully revealed at The Game Awards 2024, but its release window hasn't officially been announced. While most fans of the Borderlands franchise have already played Borderlands 2 and 3, Borderlands has more to offer than just the main titles, and this massive sale is perfect for fans looking for a brush-up.
As part of its "Featured Deep Discounts" selection, Steam has the original Borderlands and the Telltale Games spinoff Tales From The Borderlands at a deep discount of 90%. The sale takes the price for Borderlands Game of the Year Enhanced edition down to $1.99, and Tales from the Borderlands drops to $2.99. Borderlands 2 and 3 are also on sale, but cost slightly more at $4.99 and $5.99, respectively.
Borderlands Games Have Never Been This Cheap
Players Should Take Advantage Of This Massive Discount
While Borderlands games have been a part of various sales, they've never been this cheap and may not be again. Previous deals for Borderlands games included a drop in price for Borderlands 3 to $5.99 on Xbox, but there haven't been many going below that number. The "Featured Deep Discounts" section is a fairly recent initiative on Steam, and the sales that it offers tend to hearken back to the steeper discounts on major games that Steam sales more commonly boasted over a decade ago.
10 Features We Desperately Want To See In Borderlands 4
Gearbox Software has scheduled Borderlands 4 for a 2025 release, and there are a number of features the game can improve the series with.
These deep discounts could be perfect for Borderlands players in need of some games to fill the cold dreary months. More importantly, they're incredibly affordable and provide a wealth of content. Tales From The Borderlands includes all episodes of the choice-driven narrative adventure, and the Borderlands GOTY edition includes all the DLCs for the original game. It might not be as refined as Borderlands 2 in every regard, but players who haven't experienced the original game can enjoy the title that kicked off the highly stylistic open-world FPS franchise.
Our Take: Brushing Up Could Be Worthwhile
Maybe It's Time For A Refresher On Borderlands Crazy Lore
While playing older games may turn some players off, it could be worthwhile for new and old Borderlands fans alike to where the series started. Borderlands 4 is now promising players to visit a new location other than the barren world of Pandora, a location change Borderlands fans are eager for. This marks a huge turning point in the franchise, so it's important to see how things got to the new status quo Borderlands 4 is teasing.
The Borderlands GOTY edition is the perfect place to start, but Tales From The Borderlands offers a more story-driven adventure that gets into why some people go after Pandora's mysterious Vaults. Tales From The Borderlands offers a different side to the series with plenty of worthwhile lore and a change of pace from the looting shooting action of the main titles. This makes for a perfect pairing as the long wait for Borderlands 4 continues.
