Overview
- The company confirmed the pause during its Q3 FY2026 results and removed the Switch 2 entry from its official upcoming-games chart, where it had been listed as TBA.
- Spokesperson Alan Lewis said the team is focusing on optimizations and content updates for existing versions and noted ongoing collaboration with Nintendo on other Switch 2 titles, including PGA Tour 2K25 and WWE 2K26.
- Borderlands 4 launched on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in September 2025, and the Switch 2 release—once slated for early October—was delayed indefinitely last September with digital pre-orders canceled under Nintendo eShop policy.
- Outlets highlight technical performance problems and Take-Two’s description of sales as "softer" than expected as context for the shift in resources, with Gearbox continuing patches and a 2026 content roadmap.
- Reporters widely interpret the pause and the removal from the schedule as signaling the port is unlikely to arrive soon, though Take-Two has not declared a formal cancellation.
