Yet it is clear that the Gearbox software is still set to release games on Nintendo's latest hybrid console as it has already confirmed it Borderlands 4 will be available on Nintendo Switch 2.
It is worth pointing out that the Switch 2 port in this game comes out almost a month after the PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC versions, which means that the gearbox will have time to polish it so that it can go as smoothly as possible. This really won't be a simple task, for Borderlands 4 will be another open world looter shooter with fast play and a lively art style.
