Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 3.71/day in the week to Jul 30 → 5.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

THIS IS NOT A REVIEW OF THE GAME ITSELF!! This version of borderlands 1 DOES have quality of life changes that make it preferable, but needs to be fixed. The game just outright refuses to start without tinkering, and it's not just something I had to solve for myself, literal multiple people had this issue, where you need to outright delete the launcher and rename the game to "Launcher.exe" just to trick the game to even start. That's also ignoring the notorious memory leak issue that makes the game run like a N64 game or a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ PS3 port, frame drops gallore! and apparently the only way to fix it without third party mods, is to literally delete all of the loading screen videos. Very strange. I MAY review the game on the original version of the game, for the contents of the game itself. but the state this game is in as is, is pretty inexcusable, but is textbook gearbox.

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Aug 17: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

THIS WAS NEVER UPDATED TO BE PLAYABLE Before you even consider buying this, please keep in mind Gearbox only made this version as a promotional thing to lead into Borderlands 3, once that was released this never got anymore support and has MANY problems thanks to that, the most major being the memory leak issue. I wish I had known this before purchase as now my only goal is to play it with my friend group then move on. I would have loved to keep this and return to it, maybe get a maxed out character since I loved Bl2 and Bl1 as gems of their time. Unfortunately, this game is nearly unplayable for me thanks to these issues. I cant even start the game without going into my files to grab the seperate .exe since the intended one doesnt work and the game says 'missing necessary files' that dont exist.
Borderlands laid the groundwork for a multiple decade spanning franchise and serves as one of the most important and influential games of all time. Whilst its gameplay has aged with time, it still deserves the respect and attention it has garnered. The desolate, hostile, hopeless world of Pandora, the crazy enemy designs and quests, the very special art style, and the incredible soundtrack serve to create an experience that feels as desperate and crazy as it claims to be. With its truly unique and unforgettable cast of characters and enemies, its focus on gunplay and rarities, its fun story, and its dark humor, no one ever forgets their first time in this universe. The Enhanced Edition improves on most things of the original, helping to modernize it just a little more and fix some of its more glaring issues.
If enhanced means worse performance, I guess they nailed it. Having to delete files to try and avoid framedrops is really not ideal, and still it drops from 144+ frames down to 10 and below, often.
Genuinely love this game so much. The voice acting, the character design, the environment, just everything. I couldn't recommend it enough for single players and also gamers who like to play with friends or a small squad. You can get soft locked sometimes but I promise that is so small compared to who wonderful this game is. Play borderlands !!
This recommendation would largely mimic my review that I originally made of the original game over a decade and a half ago. It is still fun to come back to the original game in 2026. In fact, I'm doing so with a party of three as of this week. You don't have to spend ten times the amount to get a core Borderlands experience. This does the job more than fine, despite its age. Granted, it does have its fair share of jank with this release (online needing some CFG file tampering with other players, collision being odd at times, etc.) but after going through the rest of the games in the franchise, the original game ends up being a very solid experience. The gunplay is the key focus of these games and, for the most part, is very fun and serviceable. Admittedly, it's better with the later games in the release and some of the synergy and systems that they made between games 2, PS and 3 are likely superior but you can have some serious fun with the simplicity in this release. In fact, it has a skill leveling system that is unique to this game in the franchise, something they did away with in terms of 'the more you use a type of weapon, the more proficient you'll become'. Not entirely certain if that's a good or bad thing this many years on but I never had a problem with it in comparison to the buff system that they use now which is largely just random percentage buffs you get every so often based on challenges you clear on the newer games. Your mileage may vary. For being the first game in the series, this really is it in a distilled form with no substitutes. It's where I wish the franchise was close to today - a wild west space shooter in comparison to what feels like knockoff Halo with the newer games. If you got tired of the story and cheesy dialogue that constantly plagues the newer releases from 2 and on but you never gave the original game a shot because people overwhelming said 'start with 2 and play only 2', or similar, then take a step back and play this game. And if you've never played a single title in the series but are very interested in first-person shooters and looters similar to Diablo, then this is a fine entry point in the franchise. This game consistently rotates around the five dollar mark and includes every aspect of the original release, now reworked in HD with modern networking. If you enjoy this title, you'll likely enjoy the rest of them with varying degrees of success or disappointment. How far you go in this game will likely determine how diehard of a fan you'll become - this was most certainly the genesis for my fandom, for better or worse.
this game has so many bugs and performance issues
По-моему, это первая игра, где я от скуки уснул прямо за компьютером(так что наиграно сильно меньше). К покупке и прохождению не рекомендуется. Если все же возьмете, то дотерпите до Нового Убежища(New Haven), после него становится немного получше.
[h1]Borderlands[/h1] Borderlands fue una saga que conocí por su segunda entrega, así que cuando finalmente tuve el tiempo y la oportunidad de jugar el juego que lo empezó todo, tenía bastante curiosidad por ver cómo eran sus orígenes, la verdad es que no me sorprendió demasiado, pero tampoco me pareció una decepción, más bien fue una experiencia que me permitió entender de dónde salieron muchas de las ideas que hicieron tan popular a la franquicia. Lo primero que sigue llamando la atención incluso hoy en día es su apartado visual, el [i]cel shading[/i], continúa siendo uno de los mayores aciertos de la saga y especialmente en esta versión remasterizada ayuda muchísimo a que el juego no se sienta anticuado, puede que técnicamente hayan pasado muchos años desde su lanzamiento original, pero esa estética tan característica sigue dándole una identidad propia que permite reconocer Borderlands casi de inmediato. Donde sí creo que el juego muestra más su edad es en el diseño de Pandora, entiendo perfectamente que el planeta sea en gran medida un enorme yermo árido, pero la realidad es que gran parte de las zonas del juego base e incluso varios de los DLC terminan sintiéndose demasiado similares entre sí, hay pocos cambios visuales realmente significativos y, tras muchas horas, la sensación de monotonía empieza a hacerse notar, es algo que afortunadamente la saga corregiría bastante bien en entregas posteriores, especialmente en Borderlands 2. A nivel de historia y personajes, todo se siente bastante más simple de lo que la franquicia terminaría ofreciendo después, la trama cumple con su función y establece las bases del universo, aunque tampoco presenta grandes giros ni un antagonista especialmente memorable, en esencia gran parte de la aventura gira alrededor de abrir la Cámara y poco más, sin embargo, incluso aquí ya se puede apreciar el carisma de personajes como Zed, Moxxi o el propio Claptrap, y resulta bastante agradable ver cómo eran en sus primeras apariciones para luego compararlos con la evolución que tendrían en juegos posteriores. Pero si hay algo que realmente sostiene a Borderlands es su jugabilidad, la enorme cantidad de armas, las habilidades de cada personaje y la libertad para combinar todo ello son el verdadero corazón de la experiencia, es muy fácil entender por qué esta fórmula terminó convirtiéndose en el sello distintivo de la saga, porque incluso en esta primera entrega sigue siendo divertida y tiene esa capacidad de generar situaciones caóticas donde todo parece explotar al mismo tiempo. Eso sí, también hay varios aspectos que pueden llegar a hacerse bastante tediosos, recorrer el mapa suele implicar trayectos largos, en ocasiones incluso a pie, y muchas misiones secundarias terminan convirtiéndose en constantes viajes de un punto a otro, son detalles que probablemente tienen mucho que ver tanto con la época en la que salió el juego como con el hecho de que se trataba del primer intento de Gearbox con esta fórmula, pero siguen siendo aspectos que afectan al ritmo general de la aventura. En cuanto al apartado sonoro, cumple bien con su función, no diría que tenga una banda sonora especialmente memorable, pero acompaña correctamente la exploración y los combates, hasta el punto de que cuando deja de sonar se nota su ausencia, es uno de esos apartados que quizá no destaque demasiado por sí solo, pero que ayuda a construir la atmósfera del juego. Al final, Borderlands me pareció un buen juego, uno que quizá no alcanza el nivel de sus secuelas ni ofrece demasiados motivos para seguir jugando una vez terminada la historia, especialmente si no tienes interés en farmear equipo o enfrentarte al jefe de incursión de uno de los DLC, sin embargo, como experiencia para descubrir los orígenes de la saga y entender cómo empezó todo, sigue siendo una aventura bastante disfrutable, puede que hoy tenga varios elementos que se sienten anticuados, pero también deja claro por qué esta franquicia consiguió hacerse un nombre dentro del género y construir una identidad tan reconocible con el paso de los años. [b]Nota Final: 8/10[/b]
