Borderlands 4 boss confirms "there will be a download, even for physical copies" on Switch 2, which will "mostly" run at 30 FPS "with some dips"
Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford revealed today that Borderlands 4 is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on October 3, and in the wake of that news, he's also confirmed a few other details of interest.
Responding to fan inquiries from his weird little video announcing Borderlands 4's Switch 2 release date, Pitchford seemingly confirmed the physical version will be on a game-key card instead of an actual cartridge.
"It's a big game," he said. "There will be a download, even for physical copies."
Big publishers including Square Enix and Capcom have opted for game-key cards instead of traditional game cartridges in some Switch 2 releases, and it sounds like Gearbox is hopping on the controversial trend away from old-school physical media.
Pitchford previously said Borderlands 4 was targeting 60 FPS on Switch 2, but it seems now that we're closer to release that's become less feasible.
"It was important to us to not cut anything and to support cross play with other platforms," he said in a reply to another fan. "So, no. It'll be mostly around 30 fps, with some dips in some intense moments heavy combats or if hosting a multiplayer game in handheld mode, etc."
Finally, Pitchford touched on another fairly controversial topic: Borderlands 3's performance on Switch 2, which has been widely criticized from day one.
"Borderlands 3 was not made for Switch 2," Pitchford said. "I want us to get on that and see what we can do. We need some help and we need some time. Borderlands 4 is everything right now."
I suppose, considering the apparent confirmation of Borderlands 4 Switch 2 game-key cards and the new 30 FPS expectation, the fact that Pitchford seemingly committed to improving Borderlands 3 performance on Switch 2 is something of a silver lining. Though, it's also pretty understandable that Borderlands 4 is the studio's priority at the moment.
Randy Pitchford tells Borderlands 4 fans to "quit clutching your pearls" after teasing they may "never see any" of the game's collectible bobbleheads while simultaneously revealing a full map of them

Descartes buys e-commerce inventory management platform for $40M
Supply chain software provider Descartes Systems Group announced it has acquired cloud-based inventory management company Finale Inventory. The deal includes an upfront payment of approximately $40 million and a potential post-acquisition earnout of up to $15 million. California-based Finale Inventory helps e-commerce companies manage inventory levels across multiple sales and fulfillment channels. The company provides visibility to merchants, allowing them to better scale their operations and avoid inaccurate restocking. Its platform interfaces directly with users, providing them with end-to-end automation of key functions like shipping and accounting. 'Finale expands the depth of our ecommerce solution suite by addressing a critical inflection point for growing ecommerce sellers,' said Mikel Richardson, general manager of e-commerce solutions at Descartes, in a Monday news release. 'As inventory complexity and risk of overselling increase, Finale provides the control and visibility merchants need to grow with confidence.' Descartes (NASDAQ: DSGX) continues to expand its network through acquisition. Earlier in the year, the Ontario, Canada- and Atlanta-based global supply chain SaaS provider acquired 3GTMS, a provider of cloud-based transportation management solutions, for approximately $115 million. That deal was aimed at expanding Descartes' capabilities in optimizing domestic truckload, less-than-truckload and parcel shipments. According to Descartes' CEO, Ed Ryan, the acquisition of Finale complements the company's other e-commerce investments focused on inventory, warehousing and shipping management. 'Together with Descartes Sellercloud, Finale furthers our mission to support ecommerce businesses through all phases of their growth, from a single product startup to a global, multi-channel enterprise,' Ryan said. 'We're thrilled to welcome Finale's customers, partners and team of domain experts into the Descartes family.' The acquisition was funded with cash on hand. An earnout of up to $15 million is tied to revenue-based targets and would be paid in fiscal years 2027 and 2028.
