Is Borderlands 3 an Epic Store Exclusive?

A whole lot of people are asking, and even more people are unhappy with the answer. The short answer is “yes,” Borderlands 3 on PC will be exclusive to the Epic Store, a fact many fans are unhappy with.

On April 1, shortly after the PAX East teaser trailer and official reveal Randy Pitchford said distribution was out of Gearbox’s hands, but also said he didn’t mind “shopping at other stores.” He hinted at timed-exclusivity in the same tweet, saying “To me, exclusives are fine when they come w/ advantages and when they are short – say, six months.”

Later, Pitchford explained at length why he believes Epic Store exclusivity is a good thing, bringing up Steam’s revenue sharing policy and saying, in short, he believes it’s good for everyone to have a viable Steam competitor.

Where are the Borderlands 3 Teaser Trailers?

The box art for Borderlands 3 is a slight departure from the previous numbered games in that the Psycho on the front isn’t blowing his brains out with finger guns. Instead, we see a holy Psycho surrounded by roses and weapons. There are secrets hiding in the box art for Borderlands 3, at least when it was shown on the Borderlands Twitch channel. Apparently a hidden message promises the return of the Destroyer, the final boss from the original Borderlands.

What Voice Actors Are Coming Back for Borderlands 3?

Ashly Burch will reprise her role as Tiny Tina in Borderlands 3, but while Rhys from Tales From the Borderlands is in Borderlands 3, voice actor Troy Baker will not be voicing the character. There’s some confusion as to what happened with the casting. Baker said he would like to voice the character again, but Pitchford said he was “told by the audio director that [Baker] turned it down.”

Will Borderlands 3 Have Crossplay?

The question of Borderlands 3’s cross-platform functionality is still up in the air. Shortly after the reveal, Microsoft listed cross-play as a function in Borderlands 3 in the listing in the Xbox store, but eventually pulled the description down. On Twitter, Randy Pitchford said “no promises” when asked about it, saying it depends on how well it works. At the moment, “It’s not done and not everyone is playing well with another,” he said.
