And it arrives next week, April 3, for PS4, Xbox One, and PC - with enhancements for both the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition will offer more than a simple visual makeover and compatibility with the current-gen, as it will also bring several quality of life improvements and even some new weapons. Plus, pack in all the post-launch DLC.


With several of the updates bringing the experience more in-line with Borderlands 2 - which as part of the Borderlands Handsome Collection for PS4 and Xbox One is also getting a 4K Ultra-HD upgdate.

Here's the info on Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition .

Visually Remastered: Xbox One X and PS4 Pro, players can enjoy 4K Ultra HD and HDR, though the improved lighting, textures, and character models shine on every platform. Applies to the base game, as well as all add-on content.

Quality of Life Improvements: Significant updates to the game’s supporting systems allow for a smoother overall experience. For example:

• A Borderlands 2-style mini-map, which you can toggle on and off, has been added to complement the original compass
  
• Substantial improvements to the inventory system—such as allowing you to “lock” weapons or mark them as “junk”—simplify item management
  
• Items like ammo, money, and health now auto-pick up from the ground

Added Firepower: A new set of six named, custom-skinned Legendary weapons make the base game’s arsenal even deeper. Beat bosses or gather Golden Keys for a chance to collect ‘em all.

Badder Boss Battle: In direct response to fan feedback, the campaign’s final boss encounter has been adjusted to be more engaging, challenging, and rewarding.

Cosmetic Customization: For the first time, you will be able to customize your Vault Hunter beyond simply selecting a color scheme. Each of the four available characters has five brand new cosmetic heads unlocked and equippable right from the start of the game.

Finally, all owners of Borderlands on Steam - will get a free update to the Game of the Year Edition. Very cool.
