澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Borderlands 3 might not have had the smoothest start – a lot of people remain unhappy the looter-shooter is tied in with an 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Epic Games store PC exclusivity deal, and PlayStation 4 players have been – but according to Gearbox CEO Randy Pitch﷽ford, the game is giving the publisher its "best numbers in Gearbox history!"

"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 pl💜ayers of Borderlands 2," Pitchford wrote on Twitter on release day. "WOW! You guys are great!"

calculated🀅, that suggests Borderlands 3's concurrent peak on EGS is sitting somewhere around 248,000 players on PC, as states Borderlands 2 peaked at 123,596 players at launch, and reports a little bit more at 124,678 players. Double that, though, and you've got a number just shy of 25🌊0K. 

Of course, this only concerns the PC figures – Pitchford didn't expand on how the game's sales are doi🍸ng on consoles – but if accurate, it's a great debut weekend for the irrevere♐nt shooter.

Pitchford then updated his Twitter again over the weekend, : "Incredible day with new peak concurr🎃ency (and climbing). Best numbers in Gearbox history!"
