Strauss Zelnick has stated that Borderlands 4’s commercial performance has not altered Take-Two’s commitment to the title. The CEO described ongoing support through incremental content releases and expressed being “thrilled with the performance, and thrilled with the reviews and the scores.” This comes as the game nears the close of its first year since the September 12, 2025 launch.

Community questions persist around the strength of the player base and the absence of a confirmed Year 2 roadmap. Steam concurrent players have dropped from a launch peak exceeding 300,000 to four-digit averages, while the title holds a “mixed” user review rating. Story Pack 1 with new character C4SH earlier in the year produced limited movement in engagement metrics. Story Pack 2 featuring Loveless the Hacker arrives in September alongside Version 1.10, but details on further 2026 content remain pending.

Prior statements from Zelnick noted “a little bit of softness” in sales tied to PC technical issues, with the Switch 2 version development paused in favor of existing-platform improvements. Earlier comments during earnings discussions reiterated optimism for long-term support and new content. The situation presents the typical corporate cadence of reassurance without quantified forward projections or engagement targets.
