Borderlands: The Handsome Collection is now free on the Epic Games Store

Borderlands: The Handsome Collection is now free to download from the Epic Games Store.

Released in 2015, the PC version of Gearbox’s loot shooter has a Metascore of 82 on review aggregation site Metacritic, based on 49 reviews.

Borderlands: The Handsome Collection replaces Civilization VI, which was free to download through the Epic Games Store last week, and will itself be replaced by a mystery title on June 4.

The Epic Games Store’s weekly free game promotion, which launched alongside the storefront in December 2018, will run throughout 2020.

Sludge Life also released today and is free on the Epic Games Store until May 28, 2021.

According to the official blurb, “Sludge Life is a first-person / open-world / vandalism-centric stroll through a polluted island full of cranky idiots and a vibe so thick you can taste it. Play as upcoming tagger GHOST set on staking their claim amongst the graffiti elite.”

The Epic Games Store recently launched its ‘Mega Sale’ featuring discounts of up to 75% off selected titles until June 11, including Control for £23.99, Borderlands 3 for £24.99 and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey for £16.49.

It’s also offering registered users a free $10/£10 coupon. Every time you use a $10/£10 coupon on an eligible game or add-on priced $14.99/£13.99 or above during the sale period you’ll receive an additional $10 coupon.

The Epic Games Store now lets users self-refund qualifying purchases, while upcoming features include a mod marketplace and an Achievement system.

Earlier this month it was reported that Epic is also offering partial refunds if you buy an Epic Games Store title which goes on sale shortly afterwards.
