Borderlands 3 cross-play won’t be available at launch

Borderlands 3 cross-play is coming but will not be available at launch, Gearbox’s Randy Pitchford has confirmed.

Attempting to set expectations of a Borderlands 3 reveal event called the “Celebration of Togetherness” scheduled for tomorrow, Pitchford said the announcements therein will not involve cross-play.

“To be clear, there will not be any cross-play functionality in Borderlands 3 at launch as we work closely with our partners to create a positive cross-play experience as soon as practicable,” he wrote on Twitter. “We are committed to cross-play on as many platforms as possible.”

Then what is tomorrow about? Pitchford wouldn’t say.

“Tomorrow’s thing is awesome but *not* about cross-play,” he asserted.

Borderlands 3 heads to Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4 on 13 September, published by 2K Games.

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
