Not one, not two, but three Borderlands games are currently free to download, including the best and most popular game in the madcap, post-apocalyptic looter-shooter series. Unfortunately, those on console are set to miss out. Whether on Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, or even the last-gen machines that are the PS4 and Xbox One. The three free downloads are not available on any of these platforms. They are limited to PC. More than this, limited to the Epic Games Store. Those who use Steam and Steam only are just as much out of luck as console users.ย
Not only are the three free downloads limited to Epic Games Store, but they require an Amazon Prime subscription to access in the first place. This is because the offers come the way of Prime Gaming, which is included with an Amazon Prime subscription. Those that meet these requirements though can download, for the month of September, Borderlands 2, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, and Tales from The Borderlands for free.
