With Destiny 2: Shadowkeep less than a week away, 2K Games is encouraging further Borderlands 3 uptake and reassuring shareholders by announcing sales and revenue records for its latest release. Meanwhile, figures from another publishing group shows how Borderlands 3 PC partner, the Epic Game Store, has been able to offer millions of dollars for platform exclusivity.

Released on Sept 13 across PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC, Borderlands 3 was presented as a bigger, better version of 2012's Borderlands 2 (with a bigger, better marketing push), so it makes sense that the recent game was given an even bigger reception.
