Gearbox Entertainment has announced the indefinite delay of Borderlands 4 on Nintendo Switch 2, originally set for release on October 3, in order to ensure the best possible experience for fans.
- Borderlands 4 on Nintendo Switch 2 is delayed.
- The release was originally set for October 3.

The studio stated, “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.” All digital pre-orders on the eShop have been canceled and will be refunded starting September 26.
