It's time to make some Mayhem at home or on the go!

Borderlands 3 Ultimate Edition on Nintendo Switch makes its digital and physical Switch debut on October 6, featuring the award-winning base game plus all six content add-ons and the full collection of bonus cosmetic packs.

Blast through multiple worlds as one of four Vault Hunters—the ultimate treasure-seeking badasses of the Borderlands, each with deep skill trees, abilities, and customization. Play solo or join a friend in two-player online co-op* to take on deadly enemies, score loads of loot, and save your home from the most ruthless cult leaders in the galaxy.

An entire universe of looter-shooter action awaits in Borderlands 3 Ultimate Edition on Nintendo Switch, which includes all the following:

• Borderlands 3 base game
• Moxxi's Heist of the Handsome Jackpot
• Guns, Love, and Tentacles: The Marriage of Wainwright & Hammerlock
• Bounty of Blood
• Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck
• Designer's Cut content add-on, featuring brand new mode 'Arms Race' and an additional skill tree for each Vault Hunter
• Director's Cut content add-on, featuring a raid boss, new story missions, behind-the-scenes extras, and three Vault Cards
• 30+ cosmetic items

You can learn more about its fearless Vault Hunters and adventurous add-on content over on the game page for Borderlands 3.

There are two ways to buddy up for two-player co-op on Nintendo Switch: online multiplayer, which requires a Nintendo Switch Online account and subscription, and Local Play, where two Nintendo Switch consoles with the game can connect wirelessly.**

Additionally, you can install the free "Borderlands 3 - Additional Voiceover Languages" add-on from the Nintendo eShop to make the Borderlands 3 voiceovers match your system's language settings for French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, or Chinese.
