The concept came from Matthew Armstrong's idea to combine the mechanics of first-person shooters like Doom with role-playing games with randomized loot such as Diablo. The Borderlands games are first-person loot shooters, set in an open world, with some role-playing game (RPG) elements ( Tales from the Borderlands, however, is an episodic adventure game). A film adaptation of the series is in development by Lionsgate. This makes it one of the best-selling video game franchises of all time. An additional 5 million copies of Borderlands 3 were sold within five days of release, bringing the total series' net revenues to over US$1 billion. As of November 2022, more than 77 million copies of Borderlands games had been shipped, with 26 million from Borderlands 2.

The series has received critical acclaim and commercial success for its loot-driven multiplayer co-op gameplay and its sense of humor.
