With several months to kill before the release of Borderlands 3, now is a great time to get caught up on the Borderlands story so far as told through the events of Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, both of which can now be enjoyed in Ultra HD! The upgraded visuals—available on PC, PlayStation 4 Pro, and Xbox One X—increase the fidelity of game textures including characters, vehicles, weapons, and environments; they’re best enjoyed on 4K displays, but also offer some improvements at lower resolutions.
The new Ultra HD Texture Packs are available as free downloads on each platform as follows:
PC & Xbox One X
PlayStation 4 Pro
If you’re new to these badass shooter-looters, welcome! We’re excited for you to experience them for the first time in glorious HD and—assuming you’ve picked up The Handsome Collection—with access to a bunch of great DLC packs from day one. Borderlands: The Handsome Collection for consoles comes with all the previously released downloadable content for Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, including campaign add-ons, extra playable classes, challenge arenas, level cap increases, and character customization options. If you own a base game or two on PC but are missing some of the DLC, note that The Handsome Collection is available as a complete-the-set discount bundle on Steam, where you only pay for the items that you’re missing.
If you’re a returning Vault Hunter who played the original releases of Borderlands 2 or Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel on a previous-generation console, you can transfer your previous saves from within the same console family to your PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. Oh, and in case you were worried, playing in Ultra HD will not prevent you from teaming up online with players who haven’t downloaded the texture packs.
The Ultra HD Texture Packs for Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel are available to download now.
Enjoy!
