Borderlands 3′ Cross-Save: Play Wherever You Go

Borderlands 3 has been a hit since its release, and now it’s adding an even more enticing feature for players – Cross Save. This new feature allows players to save their progress acros multiple platforms and devices, so they can pick up where they left off no matter what device they’re playing on.

Cross Save in Borderlands 3 will allow you to transfer your character, story progress, and items between PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. This means that if you are playing the game on one platform or device and then switch to another, your progress will be waiting right where you left it. You can also share your saves between all of the supported platforms without having to copy or transfer any files.

The process is simple; when launching Borderlands 3 for the first time on a new platform or device, you’ll be greeted with a “Cross Save” screen and the option to enable or disable this feature. Once enabled, your existing save files from other systems will appear in-game. You can also choose which save file you want to use by selecting it from the in-game menu.

Cross Save also makes it possible for friends who are playing Borderlands 3 on different platforms to play together in multiplayer mode. All players need to do is make sure that Cross Save is enabled on their respective platforms before joining a game session together.

This new feature adds an extra layer of convenience to Borderlands 3 and makes it easy for players who like to switch between devices or consoles often. With Cross Save enabled it’s never been easier to take your gaming experience with you wherever you go!

This will create a unique folder associated with that platform. Once you have exited the game completely, you can then copy all of the files from your existing platform folder and paste them into the newly created folder. These files include your profile data, account information, and saved game progress. Finally, make sure that the save file you wish to transfer has been uploaded to cloud storage so you can access it on both platforms.

Lack of Cross-Play for PS4 in Borderlands 3

Borderlands 3 is not cross-play for PS4 because Sony has blocked full cross-platform support and requested royalty fees for any game with cross-play. This was revealed in the Epic vs. Apple lawsuit, where Sony stated that their fees would be determined based on the success of the PlayStation version. This means that developers must pay a premium to make their game available to all platforms, making it difficult for smaller developers to offer a unified experience across consoles.

Is Borderlands 3 Free to Play on Epic Games?

Yes, Borderlands 3 is free forever on Epic Games once it has been claimed. You can download the game at any time from your Epic Games Store account and keep it there permanently. There is no expiration date or limitation to how many times you can download the game after claiming it.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Borderlands 3 has come a long way since its release in 2019, as it now supports cross-play and cross-save between multiple platforms. This means that players can enjoy the same game regardless of whether they are playing on PC, PlayStation 4 or 5, Xbox One or Series X|S. And with the addition of SHiFT Matchmaking, players can easily play with their friends on different platforms. The combination of these features makes Borderlands 3 an even better experience and allows for cross-generational gameplay. So if you’re a fan of Borderlands 3, there’s never been a better time to get involved!
