For a limited time, you can grab Borderlands 3 for free via the Epic Games Store.

That's because Epic is kicking off its annual "Mega Sale" with a bunch of discounted games as well as this hard-to-resist freebie. The only caveat is that it's limited to the PC version of the game, naturally, but otherwise it's completely free to download and keep as long as you take advantage of this deal before it expires on Thursday, May 26.

Whether you're a longtime fan of the series and just skipped Borderlands 3 for whatever reason, or you're a newcomer introduced through Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, or you're just looking for one of the best co-op games to play with your buddies, this deal is definitely one to grab while it's still here. All the DLC released since launch isn't included, but there's enough fun to be had with the base game to still make this a pretty sweet deal. Our 4/5-star Borderlands 3 review from 2019 found a content-rich sequel that evolves the existing formula and benefits from satisfying shooting.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
