Borderlands 4 Switch 2 Release Has Been Delayed

Borderlands 4, the latest installment in the popular franchise, was recently released on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. However, the game's release on the Nintendo Switch 2 has been delayed by Gearbox Software. The company cited the need for additional development and polish time to ensure the best possible experience for fans. Gearbox also mentioned that they are working on aligning the Switch 2 release with the addition of cross-saves, which they recognize as an important feature. The publisher has noted that all Borderlands 4 Switch 2 pre-orders will be canceled per Nintendo's policy, and players can initiate a refund now or wait until Friday, September 26, when they will be issued automatically. Prior to the game's launch, Borderlands 4 received positive critical reviews, but PC players have left harsh feedback on Steam about performance and optimization issues. Gearbox Studios CEO Randy Pitchford has addressed these concerns, challenging the negative reviews and offering tips for better performance on PC and consoles. The company has already released a patch aimed at addressing the PC stability issues and is also working on a PS5 Pro patch.
