In its Q3 2026 earnings report, Take-Two Interactive Software revealed that development on the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Borderlands 4 has been paused. “We made the difficult decision to pause development on that SKU,” said Take-Two spokesperson Alan Lewis in a new Variety report. “Our focus continues to be delivering quality post-launch content for players and ongoing improvements to optimize the game. We’re continuing to collaborate closely with our friends at Nintendo. We have PGA Tour 2K25 coming out and WWE 2K26 [for Switch 2], and we’re incredibly excited about bringing more of our titles to that platform in the future.” The Nintendo Switch 2 version was previously scheduled to launch on October 2, 2025, but was delayed to an unspecified date.
