I encountered an issue where the PS4 version was checked even though the game was not installed.Īs I mentioned in the opening, Gearbox is well known for supporting Borderlands titles with fresh content, and here we are.
You will see both the PS5 and PS4 versions listed. Lastly, click the options button on the Borderlands 3 game icon and scroll down to “game version”. If you go to your library and just re-download your previous version, you will be downloading the PS4 version. Go to the “PS5 games” section in the PSN store and download the game from there. I noticed this same issue with Assassin’s Creed Valhalla so it’s clearly something related to the console, not the games.Īlso, make sure that you are playing the correct version on your PlayStation 5. If you are a trophy hunter and wish to keep your trophies in order, then you may want to finish the campaign on PS4 or just start a new game on the PS5 version.
So none of your trophies from the PS4 save will appear or re-pop. On that note, I need to point out that you can import your existing save file but Borderlands 3 Next-Level Edition for PS5 has its own set of trophies. I am 100% ready to re-experience Borderlands 3 all over again. What wizardry did Sony do to pull this off? Add the additional tension on the right trigger as I fire and this title screamed NEXT-GEN! I then stopped, returned to the main menu, and created a new game from the beginning. Picking up an assault rifle and feeling that resistance on the left trigger as I try to aim down its sights was mind-blowing. This controller is an absolute game-changer for FPS titles. Speaking of hands, let’s talk about the PS5 DualSense haptic feedback controller. As I explored dark canyons, I could see small beams of light pierce through and as I walked past, the light would reflect off my weapon in hand. The HDR lighting fills the screen with a warm glow that contrasts well with Borderlands 3 art design. I zipped around in my buggy and overall performance felt smooth and crisp.Įverything in the world from loot crates to enemy facial animations looks sharp. Load times are nonexistent thanks to the SSD. I felt like I could look for miles with the utmost clarity. After booting up from my existing PS4 save file in Borderlands 3 Next-Level Edition and dropping into Pandora, I noticed an instant difference in the draw distance.
I’m using a 4K OLED HDR 10 TV along with an Astro A40 headset.
So should we be surprised Gearbox has continued this pattern with Borderlands 3? Of course not, however this go around Gearbox not only patched your current version of Borderlands 3 but also created a completely new build specifically for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Just when I thought I was done playing Borderlands 2, new content would drop, and over a year later I was STILL playing, finding new weapons and discovering new story-based missions. Another reason fans stay engaged is due to Gearbox’s never-ending support for these titles.
The stylish art design, humorous storytelling, and frantic fast-paced gunplay are just a few reasons we have all spent countless hours exploring Pandora for what appears to be an endless amount of loot. There is no denying it, The Borderlands franchise is one of the all-time greats.
