FULL STORY
======================================================================The 
Nintendo Switch 2 version of Borderlands 4 has been delayed It needs 
"additional development and polish time" according to the official franchise 
account on X / Twitter Digital pre-orders will be automatically cancelled 

Some bad news if you were hoping to pick up Borderlands 4 on Nintendo Switch 
2 for its October 3, 2025 release. 

The official Borderlands account on X / Twitter has confirmed that the Switch 
2 version of the game has been delayed, with no further clarification on when 
owners of the console can expect to be able to purchase it. 

"We need to share that the release of Borderlands 4 on Nintendo Switch 2 is 
being delayed," the post reads. "We do not take this decision lightly, but 
are committed to ensuring we deliver the best possible experience to our 
fans, and the game needs additional development and polish time to do that." 
Greetings, Vault Hunters - We need to share that the release of Borderlands 4 
on Nintendo Switch 2 is being delayed. We do not take this decision lightly, 
but are committed to ensuring we deliver the best possible experience to our 
fans, and the game needs additional development September 23, 2025 

One reason for the delay could be developer Gearbox Software's desire to 
implement cross saves from other platforms, which the post states "is very 
important." 

Again, no further release date has been given, but players who have 
pre-ordered Borderlands 4 digitally on Switch 2 will have those pre-orders 
cancelled and refunded. For physical pre-orders, folks will have to get in 
touch with the retailer they placed the order with. 

While Borderlands 4 is an excellent game, it hasn't been without its 
post-launch issues. Performance remains a sticking point, with Gearbox head 
Randy Pitchford controversially stating Borderlands 4 is a "premium game" for 
"premium gamers," even though the game struggles to run on more up-to-date PC 
hardware. 

It may be the case that the Switch 2, less powerful as it is, could be 
bearing the brunt of these performance issues to a greater degree, hence the 
extra time needed for further polish. You might also like... EE is now an
