If you were hoping to play Borderlands 4 on your Switch 2 soon, I have bad news. Earlier today, Geoff Keighley noted on Twitter/X this news from Take 2 Interactive.
In a conversation with Variety, Take-Two spokesperson Alan Lewis disclosed:
“We made the difficult decision to pause development on that SKU. Our focus continues to be delivering quality post-launch content for players on the ongoing improvements to optimize the game.“
Despite this, Lewis went on to state that Take-Two would continue working closely with Nintendo. And that should come as no surprise. Titles like PGA Tour 2K25 and WWE 2K26 are slated for a Switch 2 release in the near future.

Now, if you have been following the story of Borderlands 4 and Switch 2, this won’t be shocking. In fact, in Fall 2025, Take-Two had already announced an “indefinite delay”. And this happened a mere ten days before its launch to the platform.
“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 that we deliver the best possible experience to our fans, and the game needs additional development and polish time to do that.”
Gamer Social Club completed our review of Borderlands 4 back in 2025. Our contributing writer and reviewer Coopy gave the title a solid 8/10 – while it may not be a contender for Game of the Year, there’s a lot there to like!
“In the end, Borderlands 4 excels at the aspects that made it a success in the first place. The story isn’t going to blow your socks off, but it’s more than capable of keeping you interested throughout its entire run…Each Vault Hunter feels unique in their own right and is a blast to play, and the gunplay is as smooth as ever with thousands of combinations at your fingertips to experiment with as you see fit. Overall, Borderlands 4 ends up being a solid entry in the mythos, and fans of the originals will no doubt feel at home in its endless mounds of loot and over-the-top violence.”
