The free-to-play version contains access to the entirety of Borderlands 3’s base game, so you could even binge through the full campaign without paying a dime if you’re fast enough. You won’t be able to access any of the shooter’s DLC, however, including the most recently released expansion, Bounty of Blood (opens in new tab)

Better yet, if you decide that you want to keep playing past this weekend, any progress you make in Borderlands 3’s free to play version will carry over to your purchase of the full game, so long as you’re on the same platform as before. 

The game is currently on sale across all digital marketplaces, too, so you’ll be able to make a sweet discount if you decide to invest your cash into the Vault Hunter lifestyle.

More details of the free to play weekend, including the varied start and end times for each platform, can be found on Gearbox’s latest blog post here (opens in new tab). Oh, and if you’re still looking for Borderlands 3 Shift Codes (opens in new tab), we’ve got plenty of active ones available on our full list here.
