Borderlands: The Handsome Collection Surprised Gamers

No official statement from Borderlands' game developer Gearbox and even publisher 2K have been released yet about the unexpected free download. There was not even an announcement or a notice from the Microsoft store on how long Borderlands: The Handsome Collection can be downloaded for free. Even updates on whether the game will share the same status on the PlayStation Network is still awaiting.

The free collection is assumed to be a freebie for an upcoming promotional weekend or just a system glitch. No free weekends have been announced recently so there are speculations that it might have been an accident. If it is a store glitch then it will be likely removed from the player's library.
