Borderlands 4's Collectors Edition Won't Have A Copy Of The Game

Borderlands 4 Is Yet Another Example Of The Collector's Edition Not Including The Actual Game

Followed

When 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Borderlands 4 launches September 12, the latest installment in the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Borderlands franchise won't cost $80, as it was revealed on Monday that t🌼he game will start at $69.99. That's a major relief, especi🌸ally considering the tension that a potential $80 pricetag created.

That said, when the game does launch, its premium Collector's Edition, , won't include a copy of🐽 the game.

It will, however, have a map, Echo-4 figure, a SHiFT code, a necklace and some art prints. Adding the $69.99 base copy of the game to the total gives fans a $220 pricetag. Not bad, but hardly any savings that usually come wi𝐆th getting a🌱 Collector's Edition or similar bundle.

That said, it wouldn't be the first time a Collector's Edition outright didn't include the game. In fact, it's part of a rather i🌸nteresting growing trend.

The Collector's Edition Used To Come With Everything. Not Anymore

Most recently, the long-rumored remaster of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Final Fantasy Tactics revealed that its Collector's Edit🔯ion doesn't include the game, but customers are free to "add" the game to theiওr cart in order to "bundle" the two together. Square pulled a similar stunt a year ago with th🌱e Life is Strange: Double Exposure Collector's Edition.

Elsewhere, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Civilization 7's big-time Collector's Edition 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:also didn't include the game itself. If you wanted the game, along with the goodies, the cost nearly doubled. Oh, and it was delivered as a code, not an actual copy. Before that, Dragon Age: The Vei꧙lguard had not one, but two editions,🅷 neither of which had the game.

It's a rather troubling trend that is seemingly impacting some pretty huge releases. It's unclear why the change in strategy (probably, money), but it would seem that if the goa😼l is to sell Collector's Editions,🐟 it'd be wise to, you know, actually include the game.
