Borderlands 4 Coming to the Switch 2 on October 3
/
Gearbox Software CEO Randy Pitchford took to social media to announce that their upcoming looter shooter Borderlands 4 is coming to Nintendo Switch on October 3, weeks after its release on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
The announcement came via an awkward video, and he initially left out an important detail later clarified in the comments: “There will be a download, even for physical copies.”
This means physical editions on Switch 2 will come as Game Key Cards, a new type of cartridge that doesn’t contain the full game but allows players to download it into their system.
Game Key Cards have been a hot topic since the Switch 2 release, as it feels like a band-aid approach for larger third-party games releasing on the Nintendo platform.
Pitchford made headlines months back, saying that real fans will find a way to spend $80 for Borderlands 4, which obviously triggered many fans of the series and players alike. Thankfully, the looter shooter is launching at $70 for its standard edition, $130 for its Super Deluxe Edition, and $150 Collector’s Edition, which doesn’t include the game itself.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach delivers higher visual fidelity, consistent performance across the board, and a few new tricks that make gameplay more accessible, challenging, and fun. If you have the patience and come in with an open mind, you’ll be in an exclusive group of people who will struggle to describe this experience to anyone else.
