Randy Pitchford, the CEO of Gearbox Software, clarified that the new release date for Borderlands 4, moving up by 11 days to September 12, was not influenced by any other game's launch timelines, particularly the anticipated GTA 6. Pitchford attributed the decision solely to the team's confidence in the game's development progress. Meanwhile, fans can look forward to learning more about Borderlands 4 during a dedicated PlayStation State of Play event. Additionally, speculation surrounds Take-Two's potential strong year in 2025 with multiple game releases lined up.
Borderlands 4 shipping early is 100% the result of confidence in the game and development trajectory backed by actual tasks and bug find/fix rates. Our decision is literally 0% about any other product's actual or theoretical launch date.
Many people said they thought Gearbox shifted Borderlands 4 date forward 11 days to September 12 to give Borderlands 4 more room to breathe before GTA 6 comes out.
Gearbox and Rockstar Games share a parent company in Take-Two, and the company has discussed giving each of its titles room to shine.
Some are theorizing that Take-Two could have a banner year in 2025, with Mafia: The Old Country coming in August, Borderlands 4 and NBA 2K26 in September, and GTA 6 potentially in October.
