Summary
Gearbox is celebrating the 2024 holiday season by giving away three Golden Keys for a handful ofBorderlandsgames. These newly introduced freebies can be redeemed through the company’s loyalty program website, though maximizing their benefits may require some effort, depending on how manyBorderlandstitles players own or plan to purchase in the future.
Like allrecentBorderlandsgiveaways, this latest one revolves around a limited-time Shift code. Shift is Gearbox’s loyalty program where fans can claim in-game bonuses like items and access to special events.
Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchfordshared another Shift code—HRFTJ-XBB63-33T33-TB3JB-H5W59—on Friday, December 20. Redeeming this key via the developer-publisher’s loyalty program website provides players with three Golden Keys, which can be used to open a special Golden Chest in supported games. The Golden Chest is typically located in a given game’s central hub area, such as Sanctuary. The Shift code offered as part of the December 2024 giveaway supports five titles:Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition,Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel,Borderlands 2,Borderlands 3, andTiny Tina’s Wonderlands.
Borderlands December 2024 Shift Code Giveaway Overview
The same Gearbox Shift code can be redeemed multiple times for every supported game and platform on shift.gearboxsoftware.com/rewards.
The 25-digit key will only be good for less than a week, being set to expire on December 26, at 8am PT / 11am ET. Fans wanting to make the most of this giveaway will need to redeem the key multiple times for eachBorderlandsgameon every platform that they own. Shift codes can even be redeemed for games or game versions that the user doesn’t own. Every platform has its own pool of keys that can be accessed by any character. In this particular instance, the December 2024 code is valid for the Steam, PS Store, Xbox Store, and Epic Games Store versions of all the aforementionedBorderlandsgames except the original one. Existing and futureBorderlands: GOTY Editionowners can redeem it for all storefronts except EGS.
In other words,Borderlandsfans aiming to claim three golden keys for every supported game across all platforms would need to redeem the newly shared code 19 times in total. While inconvenient, this is likely unnecessary for most players, as few game on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC simultaneously.
Gearbox’s ongoing offer mirrors theBorderlandsShift code giveaway from December 2023, as both were timed to celebrate the holiday season. The company regularly shares Shift codes—some of which don’t even expire—throughout the year and is expected to continue this practice. However, this current promotion is likely the finalBorderlandsShift code giveaway of 2024.
