Borderlands 4 may finally arrive on the Nintendo Switch 2 roughly five months after its debut on other platforms, if its leaked release date is to be believed. The looter shooter series' fourth mainline installment first hit the scene in September 2025, garnering favorable critical reviews but suffering a review bomb on Steam for poor optimization.
The Switch 2 version of the game has yet to be properly evaluated, but a delay to its original release date indicated that more work was needed. Portuguese gaming retailer GamingReplay has now listed Borderlands 4 for the Switch 2 with a release date of February 27, 2026. This puts its Switch 2 launch just over a month away, relatively soon considering the date has not been officially confirmed.
Developer Gearbox Software and publisher 2K had originally intended on releasing the Switch 2 version of Borderlands 4 on October 3, just under a month after it arrived on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. When the delay was announced, the official reasoning was to ensure Gearbox could "deliver the best possible experience" with "additional development and polish time."
