Borderlands 2 drops to $1.99 on Steam, bringing the co-op shooter down 90%
Borderlands 2 is $1.99 on the US Steam store, a 90% reduction from its listed $19.99 regular price. That is an $18 saving on the base game, which supports solo play and co-op for up to four players.
Gearbox Software’s loot-driven shooter sends players to Pandora to take on Handsome Jack and the Hyperion Corporation. The offer is a cheap entry point for anyone who wants to try the campaign or revisit it with friends.
Steam lists the promotion as ending November 16. Prices and availability can change, and the amount shown here is the US store price checked before publication.

What comes with the $1.99 game
The discount applies to the standalone base game. Steam also sells downloadable content and larger collections, so check the contents and final price of any bundle before buying it; the $1.99 listing is not a claim that every expansion is included.

The store describes four original playable classes: the Siren, Commando, Gunzerker and Assassin. Each offers a different set of abilities, and players collect weapons, shields and other gear as they work through the campaign.
Gearbox says players can join and leave co-op sessions without restarting the campaign, with online and local-network play supported. Steam also lists single-player, full controller support, achievements and cloud saves.

Check platform support before buying
The store lists Windows, macOS and Linux versions, although its description notes that the Mac and Linux versions have a more limited selection of languages. Check the store’s platform requirements and language table for your own system before buying.
Borderlands 2 is an older release, and some system requirements on its page refer to legacy operating systems. Those historical requirements do not guarantee support for the current Steam client or every modern hardware configuration.
The game is delivered digitally through Steam, not as a physical disc. The store’s purchase button shows the final local price for your account, which may differ from the US amount shown here.
If you already own part of the series, compare any collection you are considering with the standalone purchase. Bundle pricing and the value of extra campaigns depend on what is included and what you actually plan to play.
