If you’re wondering about Nintendo Switch 2, that version is set to arrive later, on October 3, 2025.

A bit of context

Borderlands 4 was first teased in August 2024 with the simple message “Borderlands 4 arrives in 2025”. The exact date was later revealed as September 23, 2025, but 2K and Gearbox moved it up to September 12, 2025 in early 2025 to give fans the game sooner.

So if someone’s asking “when is Borderlands 4 coming out,” the answer is: it’s already here for most players, and the Switch 2 version arrives in early October 2025.
