Det stod klart i dagene op til lanceringen tidligere på måneden, at Borderlands 3 ville blive en gigantisk titel for udvikler Gearbox og udgiver 2K. Dog har salgsrapporterne siden da ikke inkluderet salget fra alle regioner, så derfor har vi, indtil nu, ikke haft et komplet billede af spillets præstation.
Men det har vi nu, for 2K har faktisk udgivet en pressemeddelelse (via WCCFTech), hvor de forklarer lidt om præcis hvor godt spillet har klaret sig. Ikke bare har det formået at sælge fem millioner eksemplarer på bare fem dage, selve lanceringen er 50% Borderlands 2-lanceringen.
Desuden er det 2K's mest succesfulde lancering til dato.
"Borderlands 3 marks 2K's highest percentage of digital sales for a cross-platform, cross-distribution title, with more than 70 percent of consumers purchasing the game digitally in its first five days of release. In addition, Borderlands 3 delivered the highest pre-order sales figures to date for a 2K title, as well as broke pre-order records with the Epic Games Store. Initial sales of Borderlands 3 have exceeded the label's expectations and, in particular, PC sales of the title through the Epic Games Store have been incredibly strong."
