Grand Theft Auto 6’s release date isn’t why Borderlands 4 will come out early, says Gearbox co-founder Randy Pitchford.
is a senior reporter specializing in investigative features about labor issues in the game industry, as well as the business and culture of games.
“Borderlands 4 shipping early is 100% the result of confidence in the game and development trajectory backed by actual tasks and bug find/fix rates,“ Pitchford tweeted on Tuesday. ”Our decision is literally 0% about any other product’s actual or theoretical launch date.“
He continued:
We’re super confident in the game and we are ready to launch early, so there was no sense in holding out. The sooner we launch, the sooner we’ll also get feedback. We listen and learn and are excited to get a bite at that apple as we are working on exciting post-launch efforts.
GTA 6 maker Rockstar Games hasn’t announced a release date for the game, but has said it plans to publish it this year. It’s the most anticipated game of the year, and it’s expected to dominate the global gaming conversation for a while. Grand Theft Auto 5, its predecessor, surpassed $1 billion in sales in its first week, and has remained culturally relevant for more than a decade.
