Borderlands 3 is a hit, with more than 5 million copies distributed in a few days, which is a new record for 2K.

Borderlands 3 already celebrates 5 million copies sold

Borderlands 3 didn't necessarily have a very successful launch from a technical point of view: many bugs spoil the experience somewhat and players still have to deal with a questionable optimization. No matter! Despite the tests, good but nothing more, and the few setbacks described above, the title of Gearbox has been so successful that it has become the best launch in the history of the publisher 2K.

With a distribution announced at 5 million copies, 70% of which are dematerialized, and a legendary items hunt that brings together a huge community on Twitch, Randy Pitchford and his teams can uncork the champagne. For those who don't know the series, it's a rather nervous shooter, mixed with a hack and slash progression, with all that that implies in terms of loot and end-game. It should be noted that a first event, Bloody Harvest, is already planned for October and that golden keys allowing access to very good loot are regularly dropping.
