The official website for the eagerly anticipated fourth installment of the Borderlands series has made a surprising announcement: the Nintendo Switch 2 version will not include the beloved split-screen mode. This feature, which allows players to enjoy cooperative gameplay with a friend—whether locally or online—will be absent in this edition. Gearbox has yet to explain the omission of this popular function. Fans should mark their calendars, as Borderlands 4 is set to arrive on the Nintendo Switch 2 on October 3rd.
