Nintendo Switch 2 owners are gonna have to wait a lot longer to play Borderlands 4.

Today, it was announced that the forthcoming Switch 2 port is being delayed. A statement from Gearbox Software reads:

Greetings, Vault Hunters - 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 we deliver the best possible experience to our fans, and the game needs additional development and polish time to do that. Our hope is to also better align this release with the addition of cross saves, which we are working on and recognize is very important. We will update you all on the new release timing once we’ve fully adjusted our plans.

In accordance with Nintendo’s policy, all digital pre-orders to date will be cancelled. Customers can initiate that process themselves now, or it will happen automatically starting on Friday, Sept. 26. For questions about the Nintendo eShop, contact https://bit.ly/4niZo7h.

We greatly appreciate the feedback, support and patience of our fans and community. It’s truly what keeps us going.
