Gearbox announces the availability of the update for the new generation through a free patch, guaranteeing 4K resolution at 60 FPS.
A few weeks ago Gearbox and 2K Games confirmed the arrival of Borderlands 3 to the new generation of PS5 and Xbox Series through a version specifically created for the occasion along with some new features. Now, those responsible have confirmed that the free update for next-gen consoles will be available from the very launch of each of them, that is, on November 10 for Xbox Series and on November 19 for PS5, in Spain.
All progress can also be transferred
Thus, those who already have the game on PS4 or Xbox One will be able to upgrade to the new generation should they decide to get one (or both) of the new consoles, all at no additional cost and through a free patch available from day one in both systems. Of course, as is evident, those who have the title in physical format and acquire one of the machines only compatible with the digital format, will not be able to update the game.
In addition, the progress we have on the current consoles can be transferred to the new machines to continue with our games, including any accessories purchased later. All this to enjoy graphical and performance advantages such as a 4K resolution at 60 FPS stable at all times on both PS5 and Xbox Series X, both in the single player campaign and in cooperative modes.
On the other hand, the local game option for three or four players is added; Although the current systems will also receive news such as a new split screen mode for two players, a feature also available in the next-gen. “With Borderlands 3 constantly expanding and making its debut this November on the next generation of PlayStation and Xbox consoles, this is the best time to join the party,” said Randy Pitchford, founder of Gearbox.
Get ready for a new generation of mayhem! # Borderlands3’s next-gen upgrade will be available day-and-date with Microsoft and Sony’s new consoles. PLUS, players who own the game and a next-gen console can upgrade within the same console family for free!
