Borderlands 3 has crossplay now, so get a copy for up to 67% off

By Otto Kratky Published June 25, 2021

It’s summer and you know what that means. Temperatures rising, grills being fired up, and video games being offered at steep discounts. The Steam Summer Sale is underway, and you can pick up just about any game you want for far below its usual price. That extends to Borderlands 3, which is currently on sale for 67% off.

That discount only applies to the base game, which costs just $20. If you want access to the full Borderlands 3 experience, you’ll have to pay a bit more. Of course, it’s still less than you’d usually pay. The Borderlands 3: Super Deluxe Edition, which comes with the game’s first season pass and some “Digital Deluxe Extras,” is currently 55% off at $36.

For the full Borderlands 3 experience though, you’ll have to pick up the Borderlands 3: Ultimate Edition. This version of the game is currently discounted 57%, bringing its usual cost of $115 all the way down to $50. For that price, you get everything Borderlands 3 has to offer, including everything from the Super Deluxe Edition, the game’s second season pass, and a gold weapons skin pack.

This massive Borderlands 3 sale comes at just the right time, as the game has recently received a game-changing update. As of June 24, crossplay has been added to Borderlands 3. Now, anyone on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Mac, Stadia, and PC can play together. The game’s level-cap for characters has also been increased by seven levels from 65 to 72, giving players a total of 70 skill points to build their biggest and best characters with.

These discounts on Borderlands 3 will be available until the Steam Summer sale ends on July 8, so you’ve got all the time you need to wrangle your friends into a squad of gun-toting vault hunters.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4’s Stranded mission had me hooked for hours, yet left me wanting more

I spent hours sneaking through North Korea, scavenging supplies, and clearing outposts, and I’d happily do it all again.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Stranded mission gameplay

For years, Call of Duty’s campaign mode has used big, scripted set pieces to tell the overarching story amid all the adrenaline-pumping action. The 2023 Modern Warfare 3 tried to shake up the established formula by introducing a handful of short open combat missions, and I genuinely liked the idea, but the game's overall negative reception seeped into how those missions were received.

I feared the next iteration might abandon the idea because of the backlash, but I am glad it didn't. MW4’s “Stranded” mission uses the same approach, but instead of fragmenting it across the campaign, it puts it all in a single large-scale open-world mission.

The $1300 Acer Predator Atlas 8 handheld is finally US-bound, and its pre-orders are already sold out

Acer’s first gaming handheld to launch in the US arrives November 1 with Intel Arc G3 Extreme hardware.

Intel Arc G3 Extreme Hands On with Acer Predator Atlas 8

Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.

Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.
