Borderlands 3 is the third installment in the Borderlands action RPG FPS series. The game was developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K Games. Here\u2019s how you can play it on your Linux PC.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Unlike the other Borderlands games, Borderlands 3 is not a native Linux title. Instead, it is only available for Windows users. However, this game works pretty well on Linux, thanks to Proton and Steam Play.<\/p>\n

Install Steam<\/h3>\n

Steam Play and Proton are features built into the latest release of Steam for Linux. So, you must install the app to get Borderlands 3 working. Thankfully, installing the Steam app on Linux is easy.<\/p>\n

To install Steam on your Linux PC, you will need to open up a terminal window on the Linux desktop. You can open up a terminal window by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T<\/strong> on the keyboard. Alternatively, launch the terminal by searching for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu.<\/p>\n

With the terminal window open, the installation can begin. Using the instructions below, set up the latest version of the Steam app on your Linux PC.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu<\/h4>\n

On Ubuntu, you\u2019ll be able to install the Steam program using the apt install<\/strong> command down below.<\/p>\n

\nsudo apt install steam\n<\/pre>\n
Debian<\/h4>\n
Steam works on Debian, but you\u2019ll have to download the DEB package directly from Valve. To get your hands on this DEB package, make use of the following wget<\/strong> download command.<\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net\/client\/installer\/steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
After downloading the latest release of Steam to your computer, the installation is ready to begin. Using the dpkg<\/strong> command below, set up Steam on Debian.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dpkg -i steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
Once the Steam app is set up, you must correct any dependency issues that occurred during the installation. Using the apt-get install -f<\/strong> command, fix the issues.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get install -f\n<\/pre>\n
Arch Linux<\/h4>\n
If you want to use Steam on Arch Linux, you\u2019ll have to enable the \u201cmultilib\u201d software repository. To do that, open up the \/etc\/pacman.conf file in your favorite text editor (as root).<\/p>\n
Inside of the text file, locate \u201cmultilib\u201d and remove the # symbol. Then, remove the # symbol from the lines directly below. Finally, run the pacman<\/strong> command after saving your edits in the file.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -Syy\n<\/pre>\n
Finally, install the Steam application on your Linux PC using the pacman<\/strong> command.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S steam\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora\/OpenSUSE<\/h4>\n
Are you using Fedora or OpenSUSE? If so, Steam is easy to install using the software repositories included with your operating system. That said, the Flatpak release of Steam tends to work better on these OSes, so we suggest following those instructions instead.<\/p>\n
Flatpak<\/h4>\n
Need to get the Flatpak version of Steam working? Here\u2019s what to do. First, set up the Flatpak runtime on your computer by following our in-depth guide on the subject. Then, install the latest release of Steam using the two commands below.<\/p>\n
\nflatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https:\/\/flathub.org\/repo\/flathub.flatpakrepo\n<\/pre>\n
\nflatpak install flathub com.valvesoftware.Steam\n<\/pre>\n
Install Borderlands 3 on Linux<\/h3>\n
Now that Steam is installed on your computer launch it. Then, log in using your user credentials and follow the step-by-step instructions below to get Borderlands 3 working on Linux.<\/p>\n
Step 1:<\/strong> Find the \u201cSteam\u201d menu and click on it with the mouse. Inside of the Steam menu, select the \u201cSettings\u201d button to access the Steam settings area. From there, find the \u201cSteam Play\u201d option and click on it with the mouse.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Inside of the Steam Play area, check both the \u201cEnable Steam Play for supported titles\u201d box and the \u201cEnable Steam Play for all other titles\u201d box. Click the \u201cOK\u201d button to confirm your settings.<\/p>\n
Step 2:<\/strong> Find the \u201cStore\u201d button inside of Steam and click on it to access the Steam store. Locate the search box and select it with the mouse on the Steam store. Then, type in \u201cBorderlands 3\u201d into search. Finally, press Enter<\/strong> to view the results.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 3:<\/strong> Look through the search results for \u201cBorderlands 3\u201d and click on it with the mouse. Steam will load up the Borderlands 3 store page when you select the game in the search results.<\/p>\n
On the Borderlands 3 store page, locate the green \u201cAdd to cart\u201d button and click on it with the mouse. When you select this button, you\u2019ll add Borderlands 3 to your Steam cart.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 4:<\/strong> After adding Borderlands 3 to your Steam cart, click on the cart icon and purchase Borderlands 3. When done, click on the \u201cLibrary\u201d button to access your Steam games library.<\/p>\n
Inside your Steam games library, find \u201cBorderlands 3\u201d and click on it with the mouse. Then, select the blue \u201cINSTALL\u201d to install the game on your computer. The installation shouldn\u2019t take too long to complete.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 5:<\/strong> When the installation process is complete, the blue \u201cINSTALL\u201d button will become a green \u201cPLAY\u201d button. Select this button to play Borderlands 3 on your Linux PC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
