Take-Two Pauses Borderlands 4 for Switch 2, Removes Port From Release Schedule

Take-Two pulled the Switch 2 listing to concentrate resources on post-launch support for Borderlands 4.

Overview

  • Take-Two confirmed it has paused development of the Borderlands 4 Switch 2 version, with spokesperson Alan Lewis providing the statement to Variety.
  • The Switch 2 port was taken off the company’s upcoming-games chart in its latest earnings materials, signaling no near-term release.
  • Gearbox previously delayed the Switch 2 release set for October 3, 2025, citing added development and cross-save alignment, which triggered canceled eShop pre-orders.
  • The publisher says it remains focused on optimizing existing versions after reporting softer-than-expected sales and noted performance issues on PC at launch.
  • Take-Two emphasized continued collaboration with Nintendo and highlighted other Switch 2 titles, while its earnings also reaffirmed Grand Theft Auto VI for November 19, 2026 and updated Grand Theft Auto V sales to over 225 million.
