2K launched Borderlands 2, which has already become one of the most successful releases in 2K's history. The title received rave reviews, highlighted by an average score of 90 on Metacritic, and has sold in over 5 million units to date, including strong digital sales. Like the original game, Borderlands 2 is being supported with four downloadable add-on content campaigns, available individually or combined through purchase of the Borderlands 2 Season Pass.Borderlands 2 selling 5 million is a surprise to me, though perhaps it's telling that the exact results of XCOM's sales haven't been revealed just yet.
