Take-Two Boss Says Borderlands 4 Performance 'Has Not Affected Our Plans at All' as Fans Await Year 2 Roadmap
IGN • • technology
Key Points:
- Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick confirmed that despite mixed commercial performance, 2K remains fully committed to supporting Borderlands 4 with additional content, including an upcoming Story Pack 2 releasing in September.
- Story Pack 2 will introduce a new Vault Hunter, Loveless the Hacker, alongside Bounty Pack 5 and a significant game update (Version 1.10), but no official roadmap for Year 2 content in 2026 has been announced yet.
- Borderlands 4 has faced challenges during its first year, including severe PC performance issues and a decline in concurrent Steam players from over 300,000 at launch to four-digit peaks, contributing to a ‘mixed’ user review rating.
- Zelnick acknowledged some softness in sales due to technical problems but expressed confidence that continued improvements and content releases will help recover player engagement and sales over time.
- The Nintendo Switch 2 version was canceled so Gearbox could focus on enhancing the game on existing platforms, with hopes that new DLC and updates will reinvigorate the player base.
