While the Borderlands Legendary Collection is due to launch on the Nintendo Switch tomorrow, another bundle of old Borderlands titles is now available for free. For one week only, Gearbox is making Borderlands: The Handsome Collection free to download on the Epic Games Store to celebrate its arrival on the platform.
Borderlands: The Handsome Collection Free to Download
As of today, the newly-arrived Borderlands: The Handsome Collection is completely free to download for PC gamers on the Epic Games Store. This offer will be active until 8:00 AM PST on the 4th of June. As such, gamers only have just under a week to get their hands on the collection without paying. After the offer ends, The Handsome Collection will go back to being a for-purchase product on the platform.
All told, The Handsome Collection contains two of the older Borderlands titles; Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. It doesn’t contain the original Borderlands. (The Borderlands Legendary Collection, launching tomorrow on the Nintendo Switch, is the bundle which contains all three older games). Both games in The Handsome Collection come bundled with their main DLC expansions, as follows:
- Borderlands 2
- Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate’s Booty
- Mr. Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage
- Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt
- Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep
- Mechromancer Pack
- Psycho Pack
- Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
- Claptastic Voyage
- The Holodome Onslaught
- Baroness Pack
- Handsome Jack Pack
While Gearbox has been making their older titles more widely available of late, Borderlands 3 is still getting regular updates and new content. The Revenge of the Cartels seasonal event will be live until early June, and after that, there are two major new releases coming to the game. Takedown at the Guardian Breach, the second-ever Takedown mission, is due to launch very soon as a free update. Meanwhile, the upcoming third story DLC, Bounty of Blood, will be launching later on the 25th of June.
