Borderlands® 4 Coming to Nintendo Switch™ 2 on October 3
Pre-orders available today for all three editions, allowing players to explore Kairos on the go in the boldest Borderlands to-date
Today, 2K and Gearbox Software announced that the Nintendo Switch™ 2 version of Borderlands® 4 is available for pre-order. The game will launch on October 3, 2025. Borderlands 4 is the next installment in the critically and commercially-successful franchise, and the Nintendo Switch™ 2 System allows players to experience all the mayhem of the looter-shooter on the go.
“On behalf of the amazing team at Gearbox, I am thrilled we can bring Borderlands 4 to Nintendo Switch 2 so quickly,” said Gearbox founder and president Randy Pitchford. “The new features of the Nintendo Switch 2 system make it an amazing way to experience our biggest and best Borderlands game completely as we have designed and crafted it for fans and friends to have fun looting and shooting.”
Players can look forward to a range of supported features on Nintendo Switch 2, including full online co-op multiplayer, local play, and GameChat to get connected with friends and family at the push of a button.* Additionally, players can show off an incredible new weapon drop, or get advice on a difficult Vault boss by sharing their game screen** while chatting and connect a compatible USB-C® camera to see friends’ faces as they explore Kairos.
Borderlands 4 makes it easier than ever for friends to jump into co-op multiplayer with a new system for players to form parties online* and stay together when switching game modes.** Designed for co-op from the ground up, Borderlands 4 features instanced loot for each player, dynamic level scaling, and individual difficulty to keep the party together and having fun through the whole campaign.
The Joy-Con™ 2 mouse feature of the Nintendo Switch 2 System allows players to dominate enemies with dynamic movement abilities and handle literally billions of weapons with deadly aim. Additionally, virtual game cards add flexibility to digital game libraries, enabling users to load the chaos of Borderlands 4 between systems linked to the same Nintendo Account and even lend out to Nintendo Account family group members.
Players will take up the mantle of one of four new Vault Hunters: Vex, Rafa, Harlowe, and Amon. These deadly warriors have unique abilities that introduce even more ways to crush, bash and destroy enemies. Borderlands 4 features a varied, seamless world, and brand new traversal mechanics help players explore the sprawling planet Kairos to face off against the tyrannical Timekeeper and his Order.
