2K Games and Gearbox Software have a strict contract with the Epic Games Store to not sell Borderlands 3 on any other format on the PC for six months. Doing a quick bit of math, players can expect to see the game coming to Steam sometime after April 13, 2020. You can’t grab the game from any other digital storefront for a PC beyond that date.
