Borderlands 3 Price History: Every Major Sale and Standard Price

Borderlands 3 Price History at a Glance

Borderlands 3 launched in September 2019 at a standard retail price of $59.99 / £49.99 / €59.99 across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Since then, the price has moved through full-price windows, deep seasonal discounts, and one notable permanent free giveaway on the Epic Games Store. This page documents the major price shifts and where to check current and historical lows.

Launch and Standard Pricing

At release, Borderlands 3 carried the AAA new-release price of $59.99 on all platforms. That figure held steady on Steam, the Epic Games Store, PlayStation Store, and Xbox Store for the first several months. No day-one discount was offered by any major platform, consistent with Gearbox and publisher 2K's positioning of the game as a flagship title.

Seasonal and Platform Sale Discounts

Like most 2K titles, Borderlands 3 has appeared in seasonal sales on a recurring basis:

• Steam Summer Sale and Winter Sale: recurring discounts, typically 50% off, bringing the price to around $29.99.
• Epic Games Store sales: periodic discounts, sometimes deeper than Steam, with the store's own coupon stacking in certain regions.
• PlayStation Store and Xbox Store: tiered discounts during platform-specific events, including midweek and weekend deals.
• Humble Bundle and Green Man Gaming: often run additional coupon stacking on top of store-wide sales.

Exact discount percentages and dates shift every sale cycle. The 50% figure is the most common deep discount observed on Steam and Epic, but temporary flash deals have occasionally dipped lower.

The Epic Games Store Free Giveaway

The most dramatic price drop in Borderlands 3 price history came in May 2021, when Epic Games Store gave the game away for free as part of its weekly promotion. During that window, players could add Borderlands 3 to their library at zero cost. Epic has since ended the giveaway, so the free claim is no longer available, but it permanently reset expectations for the game's long-term price floor on that storefront.

Console Price History

On PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S, Borderlands 3 launched at the same $59.99 / £49.99 / €59.99 standard price. Console storefronts have mirrored the seasonal discount cadence seen on PC, with the game regularly appearing in PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store sales. Physical disc and digital code pricing from retailers like Amazon has occasionally dipped below platform-store prices during clearance events, though no permanent price cut has been announced by 2K.

Borderlands 3 Premium Edition and DLC Pricing

The Premium Edition launched alongside the base game at a higher price point, bundling the base game with the Director's Cut content and early access to the Moxxi's Heist of the Handsome Jackpot DLC. Standalone DLC, including Guns, Love, and Tentacles and Commander Lilith and the Fight for Sanctuary, has been sold at standard DLC pricing ($7.99–$14.99 range depending on platform and region) and discounted in tandem with the base game during sales.

How to Track Borderlands 3 Price History

For the most granular price tracking, use tools that archive historical storefront data:

• SteamDB (store.steampowered.com) — tracks every Steam price change and discount period.
• IsThereAnyDeal.com — aggregates deals across Steam, Epic, and key resellers, showing historical lows.
• Epic Games Store launcher — the store's own sale history is visible per title in the client.
• PS Store and Xbox app sale history — accessible through each console's web storefront, though less publicly archived than Steam.

Checking these sources before a purchase is the most reliable way to confirm whether a current deal is genuinely low or merely routine.
