The Switch 2 port of Borderlands 4 has been delayed, as announced by Gearbox Software.
Here is the official post on X:

As the post states, the game has been indefinitely postponed until further notice. Borderlands 4 has been facing a slew of criticism for optimization issues in the PC space.

Aligning with Nintendo’s policy, all pre-orders for the game on Switch 2 have been canceled.
