Take-Two spokesperson Alan Lewis told Variety that the focus is to delivery post-launch content for players in addition to improving and optimizing the game. Borderlands 4 for Switch 2 was not only showcased during the first Switch 2 Direct, but it got a detailed Borderlands 4 Creator's Voice video featuring Randy Pitchford and Randy Varnell from Gearbox Software. A new release window is yet to be revealed for the Switch 2 port.
