Gearbox Entertainment has announced that Borderlands 4 will launch for Nintendo Switch 2 on October 3, 2025, following its earlier release for PlayStation, PC, and Xbox on September 12, 2025. This date change comes after removing it from the originally expected September 23 launch, likely to avoid competition with Grand Theft Auto 6. While the Switch 2 version arrives later, Gearbox noted that the new console is a pleasure to work with, though the reasons for the staggered releases have not been disclosed. The game will retail for $70, and early previews suggest it continues the franchise's signature blend of chaos and humor.
