Borderlands 3 was released just a few days ago and it is already seeing a level of success that previous entries have not. Gearbox Software CEO Randy Pitchford recently took to Twitter to reveal that the latest installment in the franchise has already reached a concurrent player count double that of which Borderlands 2 has seen at its highest.

On his Twitter account, Pitchford announced that the peak concurrent player count for Borderlands 3 on PC is roughly twice as many as the all time high for Borderlands 2. In a tweet the following day, the CEO stated that this is the “best numbers in gearbox history.” This is certainly an impressive feat, especially when you consider the fact that it just launched and many fans were rather outspoken about not playing the game on PC just yet due to the Epic Games Store exclusivity.

Fun Fact: On PC, the data is that the launch day peak concurrent players of Borderlands 3 is about *twice-as-high* as the all time peak concurrent players of Borderlands 2. WOW! You guys are great!

Incredible day with new peak concurrency (and climbing). Best numbers in Gearbox history! No promises, but we *might* be ready for me to try a SHiFT code test with the Golden Key system tomorrow. If we do, it will probably be a time-limited key. SHiFT team are god tier right now!
