Borderlands for Xbox 360 and PS3 gets patched

30 October 2009

Numerous reports have recently been circulating pointing out various bugs that users have experienced with the console versions of Borderlands.

Numerous broken quests have been reported, as well as issues with players losing skill points when saving and loading games. While we have not experienced any of these bugs in our +-20 hours with Borderlands so far, it is reassuring to learn that Gearbox is today releasing a patch that aims to address the issues raised so far.

Both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game will receive their patches today through Xbox Live and PlayStation network.
