Ever since we announced Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, nearly every fan I’ve heard from at trade shows, on Twitter, in the comments, or on the forums has asked one question: when is it coming to PS4? Well, we appreciate your patience, and today we have some good news for all of you: not only are we bringing The Pre-Sequel to PS4 on March 24th, but Borderlands 2 is coming along with it! Both titles will be available in one package as Borderlands: The Handsome Collection for $59.99.
The Handsome Collection has both games running in gorgeous HD and looking pretty damn great, at a resolution and performance level never before seen in Borderlands on consoles. Beyond that, The Handsome Collection also has another cool first for Borderlands: four-player split-screen! Yup, four friends can hang out on the couch and play in split-screen on a single TV with The Handsome Collection, in Borderlands 2 or The Pre-Sequel.
Have you already started Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel and/or Borderlands 2 on PS3 or Borderlands 2 PS Vita? Don’t worry: using cross-save functionality, you’ll be able to transfer your save to and from PS4 to pick up right where you left off, along with your leveled-up character, Badass Rank, and everything else you worked so hard for.
But what about the DLC? Well, that’s all included, too. Yup, The Handsome Collection includes ALL of the add-on content for both Borderlands 2 and The Pre-Sequel, which is a heck of a lot of stuff.

Back when Borderlands 2 came out in 2012, it launched alongside a pretty extravagant Collector’s Edition that some of you might have been able to snag. With Borderlands 2 and all of its add-on content coming to next-gen, we knew we had to top ourselves. And so, Borderlands: The Handsome Collection will receive an extremely limited Collector’s Edition, the Claptrap-in-a-Box Edition!
Limited to only 5,000 units worldwide, the Claptrap-in-a-Box Edition includes a remote controlled Claptrap steward bot that you’ll control with a companion app from your iOS or Android device. You’ll be able to play voice samples of some of Claptrap’s most iconic lines and look through a camera to see where Claptrap is headed, all while you control his every move (while balancing on one wheel)! The Claptrap-in-a-Box Edition also includes 12 really cool exclusive Vault Hunter lithographs, and a collectible steel case. It’ll be available for $399 at participating retailers, and we recommend getting a move on it if you’re interested — we don’t expect these to last long.
Lastly, we’ll be talking more about The Handsome Collection during our panels at PAX South this week, and I hope we’ll see some of you in San Antonio. Even if you can’t make it, stay tuned for more details leading up to launch.
See you on Pandora and Elpis!
If all dlc is not on disc this release is stupid. Was psyched but now I’ll wait for the real “complete” collection.
So if we dont have our ps3 anymore are we still able to transfer our characters? Ive played Borderlands 2 and maxed out my characters but the presequel will be new for me.
Just wondering but asides from resolution and frames per sec, what else is improved graphically between this vs the original PS3 version?
Darn it!!! Bought the prequel for PS3 cause you sid it was only going to ps4. Is there a way to get a discount if you own them already?
Is TPS the last installment in the series and if so will the game be released any time soon
I only played a few hours of Borderlands 2, but I kept thinking back to it while playing Destiny. I’m sure I’ll be purchasing this package someday.
any idea if we can port data from the pc versions?
i loved all 3 of the games but seems a bit of a hefty price for people who already own them so they have to buy it all over again, cant there be a discount for people who already have it?
Do our trophies copy over too? And can we still play with our friends on the PS3?
Hi, just wandering are we able to buy borderland the handsome sollection on digital on playstation store and also can we pre ordering as well on playstation store,thank you
releasing on the same day as Bloodborne? i may love the idea, but my wallet’s looking a tad miffed.
Give us a remasterd skyrim with all dlc. I will throw my money at you!!
Can I play with all my friends and family that are still using the ps3?
I absolutely love Borderlands, but I just want to know, will this be available for download on the PSN store?
so . . . no answers for psn availability? or any clarification on some kind of crossbuy/digital discounts? i purchased bl2 for 360 and all the dlcs for 360 and ps3(bl2 ps+ freebie), spent $80+ on presequel digital deluxe edition . . . that’s over two HUNDRED twenty dollars invested in my own handsome collection(after stating presequel was not coming to next gen) going to feel really cheated if people like me will be expected to spend the full amount for this! i will be hiding my three platinums in shame and humility, and will not even start my already paid for tales from the borderlands, sorry telltale
What about trophy support , will players be able to earn trophies even if they’ve done so already with the previous releases? I’m not about to waste money on a game if I’ve already earned the platinum trophy on a previous version.
I’ve never been so excited for a port in my life. I’ve been passing off buying DLC for the Pre-sequel because of the lack of farmable bosses but now that I see this I will be buying this the first opportunity I get. I absolutely loved Borderlands 2 and can’t wait to put in another couple hundred hours into this. I assume it will be like all other games these days but just for confirmation, is there going to be a digital edition that I can preorder? A friend of mine won’t be able to play it without a digital edition and I would love to roam the borderlands of pandora killing all sorts of baddies with them. Also I can’t wait to play as Handsome Jack and The Baroness, I watched some game play of her and she was a total beast!
The best news ever
be fooled not people. gearbox seems pretty embarrassed by the violence in borderlands 1, as to neglect it completely from this collection. with the amount of neutering of gunplay that occurred, its the “lets put that behind us,” type of rhetoric. from now on, when it comes to borderlands, expect the direction of 2 and PS, not 1.
Woooooow!! I mean the split screen alone is something I have been looking forward to, but a ps4 edition just completes my AWE with a SOME, thanks you 2K
I should check internet more often, I just spent 50 dollars for all the add ons to borderlands 2 on ps3….
Will the game be digital on playstation network or just on disc
