Switch 2 owners can play Borderlands 4 on October 3
Engadget has been testing and reviewing consumer tech since 2004. Our stories may include affiliate links; if you buy something through a link, we may earn a commission. Read more about how we evaluate products. Switch 2 owners won't have long to wait for Borderlands 4. On Tuesday, Gearbox founder and CEO Randy Pitchford said it will arrive on October 3. While some had worried the game would be pushed back to 2026, it will land on Nintendo's console less than a month after other platforms. Pitchford's video begins with a sober build toward what sounds like bad news. Just when you think he's about to announce a delay, he turns into an excited 10-year-old, yelling about the game's October release date. "That date is October 3! It's October 3, you guys!! It's not next year; it's not even the holiday! It's so much before Christmas; it's so much before Thanksgiving! It's October 3, you guys!!!" Pitchford, who is a magician on the side, clearly relished this. An important message regarding the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Borderlands 4: — Randy Pitchford (@DuvalMagic) July 22, 2025 Borderlands 4 is Gearbox's first major release since 2K Games bought the studio last year. That followed the epic, messy implosion of its former owner, Embracer Group. In the game, you'll play as a vault dweller taking on the dreaded Timekeeper and his ruthless army. It's set on a new planet, Kairos. It also introduces new gameplay mechanics (a grappling hook!), seamless world transitions (no loading screens) and fluid co-op (asynchronous difficulty levels). Best of all, it won't cost $80. Tone-deaf comments Pitchford made in May sparked speculation that the game might pull a Mario Kart World. (His magic failed him that day.) The game first launches on PC, PlayStation and Xbox on September 12. Unlike those platforms, Borderlands 4 for Switch 2 isn't yet available for pre-order.

Today's Moon Mood: Wednesday, July 23, 2025
Today's Lunar Vibe: Full Moon in Sagittarius – Let That Wild Spirit Roam The moon is full and fierce in Sagittarius today, and she's pulling no punches. Expect major "I'm ready to change my life" energy — whether that's quitting your job, booking that solo trip, or finally sending that risky text. Full moons are emotional climaxes, and Sagittarius doesn't believe in subtle. This fire sign is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion, luck, and YOLO energy. So if your soul is itching for freedom, growth, or a little chaos… you're right on time. Here's how the Moon Mood may hit you: Emotionally: You're craving meaning, not small talk. Conversations today might take a deep turn — from 'what are we having for lunch' to 'do you believe in soulmates?' in 0.5 seconds. Ride the wave, but don't burn out on intensity. Socially: It's giving 'group chat explosion.' Friends want spontaneous plans, wild ideas, or debates about aliens. Sagittarius moons bring people together through curiosity and passion. Be open, but maybe mute notifications if things get too much. In Your Feels: The full moon can bring up FOMO or spiritual restlessness. If you're feeling lost or behind in life, know that's Sagittarius showing you where your heart wants to expand. You don't need to book a flight — just take one bold step toward your truth. Best Signs to Ride This Wave: Sagittarius, Aries, Leo, Aquarius — you're lit up and ready to leap. Signs Who Might Need a Grounding Snack & a Nap: Virgo, Pisces, Gemini — breathe, journal, touch grass. Moon Mood Pro Tip: Say YES to one thing that scares you a little — even if it's just speaking your truth or trying something new on the menu. Boldness is the vibe. Growth is the goal. And you're more ready than you think. Big feels, big dreams, big energy — that's Full Moon in Sag for you. Light a candle, make a wish, and let the universe do her thing.
