Gearbox has released a new patch for Borderlands 3 that removes the Denuvo anti-tamper tech from it. As such, PC gamers – who boycott games using Denuvo – can finally purchase this game on Steam.
Borderlands 3 is currently available on both Steam and Epic Games Store, and support cross-play between them.
In August 2020, Take-Two stated that the game had passed its 10 million goal, selling 10.5 million units on all platforms. Borderlands 3 also had a successful launch, with concurrent players twice as high as Borderlands 2’s all-time peak.
For Borderlands 3, Gearbox partnered with AMD. As such, this was one of the first games that supported AMD’s FidelityFX tech. However, the game had optimization issues at launch. Nevertheless, it’s good knowing that the game is currently Denuvo-free on Steam.
Have fun!

That’s cool might buy it on special now. but I wish they also removed the cringe.
psst that robot has they/them pronouns and if you use the wrong pronouns they gonna ban you from their forums, you robophobe.
So means no more stuttering?
Still stutters. Game is badly coded.
It’s the sh**ty engine. Bl2 stutters, Bl presequel does too. Its the engine that’s at fault..
Who gives a Schitt!!! I wanna know what type of person still play these reshashed games.
Would seem 10.5 mil+ players disagree with your “i wanna be a kewl kid too” statement
2 years later, who cares?
Man, I’m tell you who. People that now believes that they’ll actually own the game of it doesn’t have Denuvo. Haha, are they sadly mistaken. DRM has been a thorm in my side for years. I have no interest in rebuying the same game 2x at all so I’ll see it when it comes to GOG if a game doesn’t come to GOG then I guess I’m riding the High Seas. I’m not paying for something I don’t own. Steam, Epic, Uplay & Origin is just another Warden fighting to keep you in their respective prisons. Therefore I’m gonna make like all the Steam whor*s usually say, “No GoG = No Buy”.
Well done.
From memory It was cracked ~1 month after launch.
Epic, make piracy great again.
I got the cracked version sitting on my ssd since forever, never played it. do I have to pirate it all over again?
Yeah since that version you have still got denuvo on it
