A New Free Borderlands Game Just Quietly Dropped on iPhone

Zynga says the free-to-play game is a limited-time test with Gearbox guidance, and it is available only on iPhone in the United States.

  • On Thursday, Zynga released a free-to-play Borderlands game on the App Store as a "limited-time test" for users in the United States. The mobile title is currently available only through Apple devices.
  • Developed by NaturalMotion, the studio behind Star Wars: Hunters, the game includes creative guidance from Gearbox Software on franchise history and design. The project is an untitled placeholder rather than a full release.
  • This "epic looter shooter" preserves the series' signature cel-shaded style and chaotic gunplay. Players hunt legendary loot as a Vault Hunter in co-op missions alongside friends.
  • Currently, the game is available "only for iPhone" and requires a specific iOS version; no official Google Play release exists for Android users at this time.
  • Arriving without the usual trailer rollout or marketing push, the project seeks player input. "We hope that players enjoy this new Borderlands experience and look forward to their feedback," a spokesperson said.
