Borderlands 3 on PS5 and Xbox Series X has a four player split screen • Eurogamer.net

Borderlands 3 is coming to both Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 with some great new features, Gearbox announced during PAX Online tonight.

First of all, Looter Shooter has a free next-gen update that applies to all the content you’ve purchased, as well as your saved games. Basically, you take everything to the next generation.

Borderlands 3 runs at 60 frames per second and in 4K resolution on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 in single player, Gearbox emphasized. Next-gen versions also include two local co-op features, free to all players: four-player split screen, and the option to split the screen horizontally or vertically in two-player co-op mode. Here’s what the four-player split screen looks like:

And this is what vertical split screen looks like (note: the vertical split screen option will also be added to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of the game via a free patch).

Meanwhile, Gearbox said that Borderlands 3 players can look forward to more additional content later in 2020. The next paid add-on won’t look like the now-full Season Pass campaign DLCs, but it does include a new game mode plus one. . new skill tree for each Vault Hunter. New skill trees come with new action skills.

For example, FL4K has a new Trapper skill tree, which emphasizes shields and survivability for both FL4K and your pet. FL4K’s new action ability is Gravity Snare, a throwing trap that flings enemies into the air before slamming them to the ground. Enemies caught in its radius have their attacks interrupted, giving FL4K a crowd control ability for the first time.

In other FL4K news, they’re getting a new pet option: a Hyperion Loaderbot. This can be specified in a number of ways as you progress through the skill tree.

And finally, Gearbox teased crossplay for Borderlands 3 in 2021.
