Gearbox’s Randy Pitchford Hails Nintendo Switch 2 Launch Success

Gearbox Software’s Randy Pitchford has expressed strong enthusiasm for the recently launched Nintendo Switch 2, calling it “the most successful new console launch in the history of video game consoles.” Speaking at Gamescom 2025, Pitchford confirmed that Borderlands 4 is set to be released on the new platform next month, hinting at a positive outlook for future game releases from Gearbox as well.

Praise for the New Console

Pitchford praised the Switch 2, stating, “the Nintendo Switch 2 is an awesome, awesome machine – I’m so grateful for it.” He noted that Nintendo consistently innovates with its hardware, referencing the groundbreaking success of the original Wii, although he acknowledged that the Wii U did not meet the same acclaim.

According to Pitchford, the Switch 2 represents a shift in focus from innovation to refinement. He said, “It’s less about innovating and more about perfecting, and giving us what we want and what works.” He expressed a personal connection to the device, remarking, “I love my Switch, and I kind of wanted a more powerful one with newer games.”

He emphasized Nintendo’s significant investment in both hardware and software, enhancing connectivity features for players. “This is getting exciting,” he added, highlighting their commitment to delivering a seamless gaming experience.

Future Prospects for Gearbox Games

While Pitchford confirmed that Borderlands 4 would make its debut on the Switch 2, he also hinted at the potential for additional Gearbox titles to follow. He stated, “I love Switch, and I love my Switch 2,” suggesting a strong desire to continue developing for the platform. Although he refrained from discussing specific future projects, he assured fans, “We want to be on the platforms where the people that want us to be are.”

Highlighting the remarkable success of the Switch 2, Pitchford reiterated, “Nintendo just had the most successful new console launch in the history of video game consoles, and I don’t think that’s slowing down.” His excitement points to a promising future for gamers who prefer handheld systems.

Details about Borderlands 4 were also revealed, including an endgame structure that allows players to start new characters at level 30 after completing the campaign. Weekly challenges and a first story pack themed around “cosmic horror” with a “bloodier, darker tone” were also announced, indicating that players can expect ongoing content and engagement.

As anticipation builds for the release next month, Gearbox’s commitment to the Nintendo platform appears to signal a bright future for both the developer and fans of handheld gaming.
