Borderlands 4 will arrive earlier than planned, moving from September 23 to September 12. Fans wondered if this change happened because of Grand Theft Auto VI coming later this year. Gearbox leader Randy Pitchford denied this on social media. He claimed the game finished ahead of schedule. Pitchford wrote that bug fixing went faster than expected.
He stated the move had nothing to do with any other game releases. Take-Two publishes both Borderlands and Grand Theft Auto games. The company might have asked about moving the date, or Pitchford might have suggested it himself. Whatever happened, the final choice probably came from how well development progressed. Most games want to avoid launching near GTA VI.
When GTA VI launches, it will become one of the biggest game releases ever. Many game studios plan releases around it. They know players will focus mainly on GTA when it arrives. Other games need space to find their audience. This early release gives Borderlands 4 more time before the GTA storm hits.
