the game disc i have should be the vanilla one since the dlc is on a seperate disc. When i go to the dlc menu option in the game says unavailable at this time
my DLCs didnt show up until i got zeds medic machine powered up.then they appeared in the fast travel.i tried it out by going to zombie island.
I put my BL1 disc into the Xbox One and had to get an 8GIG download. I had purchased none of the DLC for BL1 on Xbox 360 in the past by the way.
Once I started up the game on Xbox One, I immediately had access to all of the DLC’s for free.
I am not sure if this is intentional or a glitch but my friend is the same, he got DLC for free. I then put my disc into my girlfriends Xbox One and she got the DLC for free too.
Not quite sure why though o.O
Anybody else get free DLC?
I’m still resisting. Mostly because I don’t want the preview console possibly messing me up because of it’s unstability.
All DLC’s work for me, purchased on 360 years ago, haven’t tried matchmaking yet.
I also uploaded a couple characters from my 360 to the cloud save, when I finished down loading the game to my One there they were, thumbs up for that !

How exactly does the cloud save work? I assume it’s the same as the handsome collection? I haven’t been home since the update to try it out…

Hey, are we supposed to stil have our characters saves from 360? Or is there a way we can transfer them like THC?
I didn’t try it but I assume if you back up your 360 saves to your cloud then the game can pull them over? It tried to pull mine over when it opened, but I don’t think mine were in the cloud.
I am likely to just play a new character of each anyhow. Started Mordecai today.
Hi there I have only been able to download 3 DLC for Borderlands am I the only one the 1 I cant download is Zombie Island as it is not showing up is anyone else getting that yet I have all 4 of them ok for my normal 360.
So if i buy the 360 version of bl1 and stick it in the long thin rectangle on my xbox one, ill be able to play bl1?
Hey does anyone want to start a borderlands 1 playthrough this week if so add my gt UnseenKamo
On character saves: You have to make sure you’re saves are stored on the cloud. If you’re not sure, Boot your 360, go to Settings and storage and turn on Cloud storage if it’s not on already. Then, go to your HDD and select your saves and copy them to your cloud. Then, load BL on XBOXONE and select cloud storage as your storage and your toons will be there.
To get BL1, you put your disc in and it will appear on your home screen, if you try to launch it, nothing will happen, but if you check your game installs, you should see an 8GB BL install. It takes quite awhile, about 2 hours for me on a 50Mb connection, so start it early! DLC should automatically be in there
I have to say that on xbox one with the new button mapping this game is far more accesible than before. I like the atmosphere and shooting better in the first game, but hated going back to the preset controls.
I have this same issue. Did it ever get resolved for you?
2k Support got back to me as I sent a ticket in for help and this was their reply
Thank you for contacting 2K Support!
I am sorry to hear you are unable to access the DLC you paid for in Borderlands. I know it’s frustrating when you don’t get what you purchased! Rest assured, I want to do everything I can to make sure you get what you are entitled to!
First, I would like to try some basic troubleshooting. Please try clearing the cache on your Xbox One. Here is how you can do that:
- Power down your XB1 completely.
- Disconnect your XB1 from power
- Plug your XB1 back into power
- Power up your XB1
- Sign into your Gamertag
There has been a record of this issue at Microsoft’s. I think Xbox could have some clarification on that backwards compatibility.
http://forums.xbox.com/xbox_support/xbox_one_support/f/5574/t/2072057.aspx. It’s said in the article: “Borderlands: For all editions, DLC comes included on Xbox One. For the Game of the Year edition, accessing DLC doesn’t require you to insert the DLC disc on Xbox One. Only your purchased DLC, however, will be usable on Xbox 360.”
If this does not solve the issue, please try uninstalling and then reinstalling the game. If you are still experiencing this issue, could you send me the following information?
Your region:
Your Platform:
Your Gamertag:
Where did you purchase the DLC:
Was it a digital copy or disc copy with codes:
What is the content you purchased (product code):
Any receipt, purchase history, etc. that is relevant:
Once I receive this information, I can verify at what else we can do to help you resolve this. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter!
well I have just left it as I thought what is that going to do whats clearing the cache going to do as it maybe a server issue as for some reason they may have not put it on but I dont know yet sorry for the long wall of text.
How i wish i can play on PS4…

When is zombie island dlc going to be added. Its the only dlc that is missing 
Did you try traveling to zombie island in the game? That worked for me.
Yeah, I couldn’t get the zombie island DLC to work on the XBox One either. I found the others just fine. But trying to access them in game or from the store, I could not get that one. And if I’m going to replay the game, I kinda want the full experience.
