News Borderlands 3 on PS5, PS4 Will Join the Crossplay Party Very Soon
Play with other platforms
If you play Borderlands 3 on PlayStation 5 or PS4, you're actually missing out on a feature all the other versions have — crossplay.

Review Tiny Tina's Wonderlands (PS5) - Borderlands Fantasy Spin-Off Can't Quite Find the Magic
No time to dice
If you read our review of Borderlands 3, then you've basically read our review of Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, only this game isn't as good. We're just doing it again in different words, and we're a little more weary this time around. Nothing of much consequence has changed between the two games. The budget is lower, clearly, and the...
Poll Did You Buy Tiny Tina's Wonderlands?
Roll the dice
Despite 2K and Gearbox's best efforts, it does feel like Borderlands spinoff Tiny Tina's Wonderlands has struggled to stand out. The loot-heavy shooter is another game — like Ghostwire: Tokyo — that's having to follow up on absolute juggernaut releases such as Horizon Forbidden West and Elden Ring. Obviously Wonderlands is going to...
Round Up Tiny Tina's Wonderlands Reviews Reveal a Refreshing Take on Borderlands Formula
No console code yet, though
It’s been a bit muted on the Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands front, hasn’t it? The game is out this week, but 2K Games’ marketing machine has been quieter than the titular character, that’s for sure!

Hands On Tiny Tina's Wonderlands Feels Like the Tightest, Most Polished Borderlands Yet
A familiar fantasy, but still magic
It’s been almost a decade now since the release of Borderlands 2’s Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep DLC, which reframed the looter shooter as a Dungeons and Dragons-style tabletop campaign DM’d by the titular Tiny Tina.

Fantasy take on Borderlands looking good
It's easy to dismiss Tiny Tina's Wonderlands with its eye-rolling dialogue and almost garish presentation, but we mustn't forget that these titles have always been great co-op shooters. This Borderlands-adjacent spin-off takes that fun, looter shooter core and puts it in a fantastical new setting, and it's...

But don't call it a Borderlands game
Tiny Tina's Wonderlands has been officially announced, a new game from Gearbox Software. It's a spin-off from the popular Borderlands series, but it's set to be a fairly different proposition.

News You Can No Longer Play Battleborn As Take-Two Shuts Down Online Servers
That's that
Remember Battleborn? Gearbox's answer to Overwatch was a similar hero shooter with flamboyant characters, but it failed to catch on in the same way. Upon launch in 2016, it gained fairly positive reviews, but didn't make much of an impact among consumers, and publisher 2K Games couldn't muster any real enthusiasm. The game was kept...
