Green Man Gaming has launched a new Gearbox Collection bundle featuring seven PC games across three pricing tiers, with every included title rated either Verified or Playable on Steam Deck.
The complete bundle costs $15 and includes Borderlands 3 Ultimate Edition, Homeworld 3, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands Chaotic Great Edition, Risk of Rain Returns, Blanc, Tribes of Midgard, and Borderlands Game of the Year Enhanced.
The main attraction is Borderlands 3 Ultimate Edition, which includes the base game and its downloadable content. Its presence makes the highest tier more valuable than bundles that only include the standard version.
You can also choose the cheaper $5 or $10 tiers if you only want selected games. Each higher tier contains everything from the tiers below it.
Gearbox Collection bundle tiers
The bundle is divided into three levels, starting at $5 and reaching $15 for the complete collection.
| Price | Included games | Steam Deck status |
|---|---|---|
| $5 | Tribes of Midgard | Verified |
| $5 | Borderlands Game of the Year Enhanced | Playable |
| $10 | Everything in the $5 tier | Mixed |
| $10 | Blanc | Verified |
| $10 | Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands Chaotic Great Edition | Verified |
| $10 | Risk of Rain Returns | Verified |
| $15 | Everything in the $5 and $10 tiers | Mixed |
| $15 | Homeworld 3 | Playable |
| $15 | Borderlands 3 Ultimate Edition | Playable |
The $10 tier contains five games in total because it includes the two games from the lowest tier. The $15 option unlocks all seven games.
This structure gives you some flexibility if you are interested in the smaller handheld friendly games but do not want Homeworld 3 or Borderlands 3.
Borderlands 3 Ultimate Edition gives the top tier its value
Borderlands 3 Ultimate Edition is the strongest reason to consider the $15 bundle.
Unlike the standard release, the Ultimate Edition includes the main game and its major additional content. This gives you access to a much larger package without needing to purchase expansions separately.
The supplied deal information lists the Ultimate Edition at $20.42 during its current Steam sale. That means the bundle costs less than Borderlands 3 Ultimate Edition alone while adding six other games.
| Borderlands 3 Ultimate Edition benefit | Details |
|---|---|
| Base game | Included |
| Major downloadable content | Included |
| Steam Deck rating | Playable |
| Bundle tier | $15 |
| Other games included at the same price | Six |
The Playable rating means the game can run on Steam Deck but may require some manual settings, smaller text tolerance, or another minor adjustment. It does not carry the simpler Verified status held by several other games in the collection.
Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands offers another full Borderlands style adventure
Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands Chaotic Great Edition is included in the $10 tier.
The game takes the looter shooter structure associated with Borderlands and places it inside a fantasy tabletop setting. Guns remain central to combat, but the game also includes spells, melee weapons, character classes, and fantasy themed environments.
The Chaotic Great Edition includes more content than the standard release, making it another substantial addition to the bundle.
Its Steam Deck Verified status means it should work well with the handheld’s controls, display, and default configuration.
For players who already own Borderlands 3, the $10 tier may still be worthwhile because it includes Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, Risk of Rain Returns, Blanc, and the two games from the lowest tier.
Risk of Rain Returns suits portable play
Risk of Rain Returns is a remade and expanded version of the original Risk of Rain.
It uses side scrolling action, random item combinations, and repeated runs where difficulty rises over time. Its structure works well for short sessions because each attempt is separate and progress can be approached gradually.
The game is Steam Deck Verified, which makes it one of the simpler titles to launch and play from the bundle.
Its lower hardware demands should also provide better battery life than larger 3D games such as Borderlands 3 or Homeworld 3.
Blanc provides a quieter cooperative option
Blanc is a cooperative adventure following a wolf cub and a fawn travelling through a snowy environment.
It offers a very different experience from the action heavy games in the collection. The focus is on cooperation, movement, and environmental puzzles rather than combat or character progression.
The game is Steam Deck Verified and may appeal to players looking for a shorter or less demanding experience.
Its cooperative design is an important consideration, however. You will get the most from it when playing with another person.
The $5 tier includes two established games
The lowest tier includes Tribes of Midgard and Borderlands Game of the Year Enhanced.
Tribes of Midgard is a survival action game built around exploration, crafting, combat, and protecting a central settlement. It supports cooperative play and carries a Steam Deck Verified rating.
Borderlands Game of the Year Enhanced provides the updated version of the first Borderlands. It includes the original game and its major downloadable content, offering a useful starting point for anyone unfamiliar with the series.
| $5 tier game | Main style |
|---|---|
| Tribes of Midgard | Cooperative survival action |
| Borderlands GOTY Enhanced | Looter shooter RPG |
The $5 tier is the cheapest way to enter the bundle and still gives you two complete games.
Homeworld 3 is the most demanding inclusion
Homeworld 3 joins the collection at the $15 level.
The space strategy game focuses on fleet management, three dimensional movement, resource gathering, and large battles. It has a Steam Deck Playable rating rather than Verified status.
Strategy games can be harder to use on a handheld because they often depend on smaller interface elements, detailed unit controls, and mouse style input. Steam Deck’s trackpads can help, but the experience may still require custom controls or interface adjustments.
Homeworld 3 is therefore likely to be the least portable friendly game in the bundle, even though it is technically supported.
The complete tier offers the strongest overall value
The $15 option is the most attractive tier for players who do not already own several of the included games.
It combines two large Borderlands related packages, a modern strategy game, a cooperative adventure, a survival title, and two action focused releases.
| Best tier for | Recommended option |
|---|---|
| Lowest possible cost | $5 tier |
| Mostly Verified handheld games | $10 tier |
| Borderlands 3 Ultimate Edition | $15 tier |
| Complete seven game collection | $15 tier |
| Avoiding more demanding games | $10 tier |
Existing ownership should be checked before buying because bundle keys usually do not provide extra copies for games already attached to your Steam account.
Steam Deck compatibility can also change with updates, so checking the current Valve rating and recent player reports is useful before purchase.
The complete Gearbox Collection bundle stands out because Borderlands 3 Ultimate Edition is included instead of the standard version. At $15 for seven games, it offers the strongest value to players interested in Borderlands, portable action games, and a varied Steam Deck library.
