Description:
Borderlands 3: Next Level Edition is a special console-only version of the game designed to take advantage of the power of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. While it doesn't include the full Season Pass content, it provides the base game with a few unique cosmetic items and the key next-gen enhancements.
The core game is a massive, mayhem-fueled looter-shooter adventure where you play as one of four unique Vault Hunters. Your mission is to stop the fanatical Calypso Twins from uniting the bandit clans and claiming the galaxy's ultimate power. The game is known for its "bazillions" of guns, a vast number of weapons with unique stats and special effects, and its signature humorous and over-the-top tone.
The Next Level Edition's main draw is the next-gen optimizations, which include:
-
Performance and Visual Upgrades: The game runs at a smooth 60 frames per second with a gorgeous 4K resolution on both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
-
Expanded Local Co-op: For the first time, you can play in local splitscreen with up to four players, expanding the couch co-op experience.
This edition also includes the Multiverse Final Form Cosmetic Packs for all four Vault Hunters: Amara, FL4K, Moze, and Zane. These packs give your characters a unique, alternate appearance, imagining what they would look like if they had never become a Vault Hunter.
It is important to note that the Next Level Edition does not include the major story DLCs from the Season Passes. For players who want to experience all the major expansions, such as "Moxxi's Heist of the Handsome Jackpot" or "Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck," the Ultimate Edition would be the appropriate choice. The Next Level Edition is primarily for those who want the base game with its next-gen upgrades and a few bonus cosmetics.
