Borderlands: The Handsome Collection Gets Very Large Patch Update

Borderlands burst onto the scene last generation and spawned not only a sequel, but also what they donned the Pre-Sequel. While the original game was left out, we saw a remastered bundle make its way to current-gen with Borderlands: The Handsome Collection. This fantastic collection is the definitive version of both Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, but Gearbox Software has now revealed that a major patch update is out for both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
