TL;DR: NVIDIA partners with Gearbox and 2K to offer a free Borderlands 4 Steam copy and Gilded Glory Pack DLC with eligible GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs, desktops, or laptops. The game launches September 12 with optimized drivers and DLSS 4 support, delivering enhanced visuals and performance on high-end RTX 50 Series hardware.

We're weeks away from Borderlands 4 launching on PC and console, and to celebrate, NVIDIA has partnered with developer Gearbox and publisher 2K for its latest GeForce RTX bundle.

This pack unlocks new skins for each of the four playable Vault Hunters, your weapons, and the ECHO-4 Drone companion - seen above. Redemption for both the game and the DLC will be available via the NVIDIA App's rewards section, with the bundle limited to GeForce RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti, or 5070 desktops and graphics cards, as well as notebooks with GeForce RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti, or 5070 Laptop GPUs.

Unfortunately, it looks like GeForce RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti gamers miss out, which is a shame. For the complete list of participating partners, retailers, and full details on the bundle, head to NVIDIA's dedicated Borderlands 4 GeForce RTX 50 Series Bundle page.
