The original Borderlands was groundbreaking in popularizing the looter shooter genre, blending first-person shooting with the addictive loot grind of Diablo 4. While other games like Destiny 2 and The First Descendant have veered towards live-service models, the Borderlands series has stayed true to its roots of delivering a focused single-player and co-op experience. Borderlands 3, in particular, shines when played with friends rather than solo. Released across multiple consoles and generations, the game faces the challenge of uniting various platforms into a seamless cross-platform experience, unlike titles such as Valorant.
Is Borderlands 3 cross-platform?
Yes, Borderlands 3 now fully supports cross-platform play across all systems, including PlayStation, Xbox, and PC on both Steam and Epic platforms.
However, cross-progression is a bit trickier. Character transfers are limited to Steam and Epic platforms only, not offering much flexibility. Unfortunately, there’s no direct method to move your character between consoles, but you can transfer loot between platforms to help rebuild your character. By utilizing the trading system, you can send your gear to a new account on a different platform and claim it there. While you’ll still need to level up your character and redo quests from scratch, this method offers some assistance in transitioning between platforms.
