During gamescom, Randy Pitchford joined the "Building an Ecosystem of Citizen Science" panel at the devcom Developer Conference to talk about Borderlands Science. Borderlands Science was launched in 2020, and consists of a mini-game placed within the Borderlands 3 game world that was designed so that as players interacted with it, they'd be contributing to microbiome research through their gameplay. 4.5 million gamers have played Borderlands Science to-date, collectively solving over 3.5 million puzzles. This has led to a significantly refined estimate of the relationships of microbes in the human gut, and showcases how video games can both make science fun and harness the collective energy of millions of players to advance science.
