Borderlands 3 made a positive impression on most players with its humor and action. The game initially sold well, but the buzz around the title has inevitably diminished with time. However, it seems that the well-received Borderlands 3 has continued to sell well over the last few months and has now managed to hit a considerable sales milestone.

The Borderlands series has a reputation for delivering exciting loot-based first-person shooters, and seven years after the release of the last serialized title Borderlands 3 managed to give fans this. During Take-Two Interactive's earnings call for Q3 2020, CEO Stauss Zelnick reported on the reception of the game and the number of units it has shipped. It appears that the game was not only enjoyable, but an economic triumph as well.

The title has managed to ship 8 million copies since its release and alongside the success of The Outer Worlds, it is apparent that developer Gearbox has had a very profitable year. It will now be interesting to see how Gearbox builds on these sales figures and supports the game. There is already plenty of conjecture about upcoming DLC's as well as updates. Gearbox will surely want to capitalize on the sales of another Borderlands title and retain players through a steady stream of content that keeps fans engaged.

The last DLC for Borderlands 3 gave players plenty of legendary items and fans of the game were largely impressed with the content. However, if the game wants the longevity of previous titles, it will likely have to give players more to keep them entertained. While the future of the title is a mystery, Gearbox will be incredibly pleased that a game that helped establish the loot-shooter genre is still a key player in the gaming economy.

Fans do not have to wait long for the next Borderlands 3 DLC announcement and many will be eager to see what new content will be coming to the game. A new story arc will definitely be on the top of player lists as the added motivation always makes loot-based games more compelling. Whether the game can deliver this remains to be seen, what is apparent is that the title has managed to please fans and be another successful installment in Gearbox's long-running franchise.

Borderlands 3 is out now for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
