Borderlands 4 has been indefinitely delayed for Nintendo Switch 2, cross save in the works

2K and Gearbox Software have announced that Borderlands 4 for Nintendo Switch 2 is delayed to an unannounced date in the future.

This delay will give the team time for additional development and polish to deliver the best possible experience. The announcement also confirms that the release is aimed to be better aligned with cross saves which are being worked on. You can find the full announcement below from the official Borderlands account:

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. For physical pre-orders, please reach out to the corresponding retailer.

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