It is time for Steam’s Summer Sale, and there are so many games to look into, if you don’t already have a long list of backlog of games to play. The sale lasts until June 21, 2025, and there’s one game you should absolutely try if you haven’t already – Borderlands 3.
Borderlands 3 is an iconic looter-shooter in the series, and with Borderlands 4 approaching in September 2025, it is nice to have that refresh with the series since it has been half a decade already. Borderlands 3 has a whopping 95% discount slashed off its $59.99 price tag, dropping it to $2.99.
Borderlands 3 Still Holds Up As One of the Best in the Series
While Borderlands 2 is still personally my favorite Borderlands game,Borderlands 3delivered a lot of promise with its gun variety, improving the looter-shooter system into something more rewarding.
Since there’s a lot of randomization and potential combinations (procedural generation), you’ll sometimes get a combination of strong modifiers, other times you’ll get incredibly wacky ones that make you go “why is this even here” (but in a good way).
They also introducednew unique classesand catered some ofthem around co-op play, which is a big aspect of Borderlands 3. The trademark art style is still there with itssignature tongue-in-cheek humor.Whocould ever forget about Claptrap?
However, Borderlands 3’s biggest feature is its deep co-op gameplay, featuring progressive leveling with friends, a generous multiplayer looting system, several game modes likeNG+,Mayhem Mode, and other events past the campaign. The game has several reasons to keep you playing outside the campaign. If you want more, there are evenseveral DLCs to add and expand on the late-game replayabilityof the game, not included with the $2.99 price tag. If you want all these DLCs included, it is still on sale, but it’llcost $24.80(Ultimate Edition).
If you are going to play Borderlands 4 on August 06, 2025, you might want to try out Borderlands 3 to get a feel for the game. But don’t worry, you don’t have toplay Borderlands 3 to fully experience Borderlands 4.
