• Borderlands 3 has sold over 16 million copies.
• The original Borderlands sold over 6 million copies.
• Borderlands 2 sold over 27 million copies.
• There are additional, undocumented sales through the Handsome Collection and such that bring the series’ total sales to 74 million.

74 million copies in a series is a fairly decent number of sales for any company to aim for, and Borderlands is one of those series that is a bit niche, but when you do, the experience is going to be unforgettable. From the stats presented here, we can see that Borderlands 2 is 2K’s best-selling Borderlands game, while Borderlands 3 is 2K’s fastest-selling game. There are certain trends that lead to these sorts of numbers, but the general overview tells us that both Borderlands 2 and 3 are massively popular games.

The Borderlands series has generated $1 billion in revenue.

• Borderlands 3 was the game that established the series as a $1 billion franchise.
• Borderlands 3 was the fastest-selling 2K title ever.
• More than 70% of Borderlands 3 purchases were digital.

Of course, when your series is as popular as Borderlands, you can expect some pretty decent profits to be coming in, and that is exactly what happened with this series. The only available data we could find surrounding the total revenue of the Borderlands series, was from 2019 which said that the series grossed $1 billion, but we are sure that that number has increased over time as the series is still quite popular.

Borderlands 4 is coming out, but there is no release date.

• Borderlands 4 has been announced to be in development.
• The development of the game seems promising since Gearbox announced a new studio in Montreal.
• The story of Borderlands 4 should pick off where Borderlands 3 left off.
• The game should be fully cross-platform between Xbox, PlayStation, and PC.
• Also, rumors are saying that Borderlands 4 might continue with the seasonal system, implementing different events to keep players engaged.

Every dedicated community revels in the announcement of a new game in their series, and the same was for the Borderlands community when Borderlands 4 was announced. Even though the newest title in the hit series hasn’t revealed any details surrounding the game, we are sure that, based on rumors and hearsay, the newest game is going to come with an awesome and memorable fury. It is probably going to take the best aspects of previous games and put them into one fresh unit.

The director of the Deadpool movie has taken the reins for shooting the Borderlands film.

• Eli Roth was supposed to direct the entire movie, but he chose to pursue other projects.
• The movie was supposed to be released in 2022, but there have been no announcements, so a 2023 release is more likely.
• Some notable names appearing in the movie are Kevin Hart, Cate Blanchett, Ariana Greenblatt, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Jack Black.

Usually, when you have a good game come out that achieves global hype, any television adaptations are likely not going to be too good, especially with the ever-dropping quality of Netflix, but through the adaptation of The Last of Us, we can see that adapting games can sometimes prove to be fruitful. Of course, we can never be sure that the adaptation will be good, but what we can be sure about is that Borderlands has an excellent setting for a bombastic Sci-Fi movie.

Borderlands Twitch stats

The appeal of Borderlands lies in its randomness of it since the games are designed to provide a fresh experience every time you play them, so there are a lot of people watching the games on Twitch. In this small section, we’re just going to take a look at how well the Borderlands series has performed, looking at total watch time, total broadcasting time, etc.

The Borderlands series has accumulated 5.3 million hours watched on Twitch.

• Borderlands 2 had the most hours watched at 2.6 million.
• Borderlands had the least hours watched at 278,957.
• The series had 695,941 broadcasting hours on Twitch.
• Borderlands 3 had the most broadcasting hours at 439,129.
• New Tales from the Borderlands had the least broadcasting hours at 6,693.

There isn’t much to say about the Twitch statistics surrounding the Borderlands series other than the fact that the series hasn’t seen as much popularity as it could have, since it accumulated 5.3 million hours on Twitch in 2022, which is a fairly small number compared to other, bigger games. Other games accumulate this many hours watched in a month, but it took the entire Borderlands series an entire year.
