Overview
- Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said in a Wednesday interview that a Nintendo Switch 2 version of Borderlands 4 is technically doable but remains on pause.
- Zelnick said the pause is not a cancellation and explained that Gearbox is prioritizing fixes for player complaints on PlayStation, Xbox, and especially PC performance.
- He said Take-Two’s primary console focus is Sony and Microsoft, which places Nintendo’s new system lower on the release schedule.
- Retailers canceled Switch 2 preorders after the delay, and reports later showed boxed copies in the wild, yet there is still no release window.
- Borderlands 4 launched last September on PS5, Xbox Series, and PC, where sales were softer than expected after performance issues, which helps explain the current focus on updates.
