The loot shooter Borderlands has always enjoyed great popularity among gamers. 2K and Gearbox Entertainment are now releasing exciting new content for the chaotic shooting game with the "Borderlands 3 Ultimate Edition" and the "Next Level Edition". In addition to the next-gen upgrade for Xbox Series X and Series S, players can expect the Designer's Cut add-on and a range of brand new cosmetic items. PlayStation 5 pre-orders will have to wait until November 19 for the upgrade, and disc owners will have a hard time continuing to play.
With the Borderlands 3 Next Level Edition, which has been available for the Xbox Series X and Series S since November 10, 2K and Gearbox Entertainment bring out a highly anticipated next-gen version of the loot shooter. For the PlayStation 5, the upgrade should appear on November 19th. Fans can throw themselves into chaos just in time for their market launch.
Borderlands 3 optimized for next-gen consoles
As a result of the upgrade, the video game has been adapted in such a way that the performance of the next-gen consoles is optimally used. This is how these consoles display Borderlands 3 in single player and online co-op mode with 60 FPS and in 4K resolution. Which should ensure an excellent graphics experience. Local multiplayer games for three to four players are also possible on the split screen. The vertical 2-player split screen, however, is available on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Xbox Series X and Series S. Both variants will also be playable on the PlayStation 5 from the time of publication.
Important: Owners of the disc version of Borderlands can only upgrade using the disc version of the console
Players who already own the video game Borderlands 3 and have purchased a new generation console can download the upgrade for free within the same console family (Xbox or Playstation). Owners of the disc version need an Xbox Series X or a PlayStation 5 with a drive and can therefore not easily switch to the new Borderlands version. Past memory statuses and add-on content can be transferred with the update. A simple connection to previous successes should not be a problem after a successful transfer and that should be particularly pleasing to the players of the loot shooter.
Season Pass 2, add-ons and new cosmetic items for the loot shooter
The add-on Designer's Cut, which has been downloadable for Borderlands 10 since November 3, promises a completely new gaming experience. For this purpose, gamers have an additional skill tree for every vault hunter and the random roguelike thrill Plüller Parade. The skill tree is supposed to ensure unprecedented builds. It contains a new action skill as well as new passive skills. At the Plüller Parade, the focus is clearly on the gameplay and the weapons. Thus, any dropped loot should be carefully examined by the player.

New content add-ons for the players, Designers' Cut and Director's Cut as well as cosmetic objects are available for download. Season Pass 2 and the add-on Designer's Cut are available since November 10 for PC, Stadia, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Xbox Series X and Series S. The Borderlands 5 expansion packs will also be available for PlayStation 3 on November 19th.
Multiversum Finale Form cosmetic packs with four character models
"The Multiverse Finale Form Cosmetic Packs" offer the loot shooters four new character models for the first time and show what would have become of the game heroes in another universe if they hadn't started a career as a Vault Hunter had. The cosmetic objects can be combined with different heads and bodies as well as all existing skins.
The new cosmetic packs are also part of Season Pass 2 and Borderlands 3 Ultimate Edition. With the Ultimate Edition of the Loot Shooter, players not only have access to the popular base game, but also 6 content add-ons from the previous Season Pass and Season Pass 2 as well as some bonus cosmetic packs. A Borderlands 3 Next-Level Edition is also available for next-gen consoles, which contains the base game and the Multiverse Finale-Form cosmetic packs.
The Ultimate Edition is currently available at a price of 99,99 euros for PC, Stadia, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Xbox Series X and Series S. The next-level edition is currently available for 69,99 euros for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Xbox Series X and Series S. For the PlayStation 5, both versions will be available on November 19th. Owners of the Borderlands 3 Super Deluxe Edition or the Season Pass and Borderlands 3 receive the Multiverse Finale Form Cosmetic Packs as a bonus.
