Borderlands 4 Switch 2 release date leaked by gaming retailer

Prior to the game’s launch last year, the team at Gearbox confirmed that the then-upcoming Borderlands 4 would be landing on the Nintendo Switch 2 alongside all other platforms. Right at the last minute however, the Switch 2 version was delayed indefinitely citing the need for “additional development and polish time”. While we’ve yet to get an updated timeline, a Portuguese retailer seems to have confirmed Borderlands 4’s launch date prematurely.

As discovered by Reddit user ‘Venom_daemon', the Portuguese retailer GamingReplay recently went live with their listing for the Switch 2 version of Borderlands 4, with the title reportedly arriving on the 27th of February.

While this of course should be taken with a pinch of salt until confirmed by Gearbox themselves, Borderlands 4 over the past few months has made a bunch of strides when it comes to ensuring a more consistent and performant experience, meaning its arrival shouldn’t be too far away.

That said, early impressions of the Switch 2 version prior to release left plenty to be desired, and so it will be interesting to see exactly what changes/optimisations have been made to ensure a smooth experience.

Despite a solid start, Borderlands 4 sales have been lower than expected, with 2K blaming performance issues on PC for the “softer” reception. With a majority of these woes across PC and consoles now resolved, it will be interesting to see how the Switch 2 version performs – both in terms of stability and sales.
