Stadia’s holiday launch is an embarrassment of riches. Well it’s an embarrassment anyway. At least you’d be laughing if you’re not among the astroturf social media accounts who coincidentally just registered and only post to lie about Stadia and its competition.
Borderlands 3 is out on Stadia today, and nothing says embarrassing quite like your console-free game being woefully out of date. One positive of the Stadia experience is that you don’t have to download or update your games, and Gearbox has sweetened the deal even more by simply not updating the game. As posted on the official website, the Stadia edition of Borderlands 3 has launched with the most recent version of Borderlands 3 up to October 24. Gearbox hopes to achieve version parity around early 2020.
“We aim to achieve feature parity for all versions of Borderlands 3 early in 2020, but for the moment the version of the game that you play on Stadia has benefitted from the updates and fixes that were released through October 24. Noteworthy features coming soon to the Stadia version of Borderlands 3 include endgame content like the Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite and Mayhem 4 difficulty, dedicated loot pools for bosses, and additional bank space.”
Borderlands 3’s first expansion content titled Moxxi’s Heist For the Handsome Jackpot launches on December 19, whereas Stadia players will need to wait until early 2020.
