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.

A look at the state of deepfakes.
From ChatGPT to Gemini: how AI is rewriting the internet See all Stories Posted Jul 23, 2025 at 12:00 AM UTC A look at the state of deepfakes. If you're interested in a high-level overview of the state of deepfakes, I recommend checking out this blog post from Captions, a Capcut competitor and a software platform that enables creators to generate AI-generated videos from scratch. What struck me the most is the company's prediction that, 'Very soon, most models will allow you to generate a person (real or synthetic) in any situation – without a duration constraint (longer than 12 seconds) and featuring multiple people in one shot.' Chat, are we cooked? I'll have Captions CEO Gaurav Misra on Decoder later this week to talk about this.
