"Borderlands 4 was supposed to kick off the Nintendo Switch 2's first big fall season but it's now been indefinitely delayed as Gearbox Entertainment works to deliver the "best possible experience" for fans on the new portable console. It's a surprisingly last-minute move for a game that was supposed to ship in less than two weeks, on October 3. The pivot comes after weeks of heated debate over the loot shooter's performance on other platforms."
"The studio said it hopes to peg the new release date for Borderlands 4 on Switch 2 to the arrival of cross saves for all versions of the game, but didn't provide a release window for that either. "We will update you all on the new release timing once we've fully adjusted our plans," the announcement reads. In the meantime, all digital pre-orders on the eShop have been canceled in accordance with a Nintendo policy, and will be refunded starting September 26."
Gearbox Entertainment postponed the Nintendo Switch 2 launch of Borderlands 4 to allow additional development and polish aimed at delivering the best possible experience on the new console. The game had been scheduled to release on October 3, less than two weeks away, before the indefinite delay. The studio intends to align the new release date with the arrival of cross saves across all platforms but provided no firm window. All digital pre-orders on the Nintendo eShop were canceled and will be refunded starting September 26 under Nintendo policy. The delay follows complaints about performance on PC and other consoles, including an apparent memory leak that degrades performance during extended play sessions, and the Switch 2 version is capped at 30fps.
