A couple of weeks ago we announced that Borderlands 3's anniversary was close and that Gearbox was going to celebrate it with a series of consecutive limited-time events that would add extra loot and rewards for all the players.

Make sure that you look for the Standard version of Borderlands 3 on the platform you want to play it for free and not the Deluxe or Super Deluxe editions of the game. Of course, you will have to download the game and you won't have access to DLC contents, but the base game offers an experience thrilling enough to keep you playing through the weekend, as Borderlands 3 has a huge amount of side quests that you can do to keep yourself busy while trying to deal with the Calypso Twins and discover the secrets of the Vaults. Remember that if you like the game you can visit our comparator anytime to buy it cheap and the progress you make during the weekend will be saved.
