– The Super Deluxe Edition can be preordered digitally via the Nintendo eShop, offering additional content without a physical copy.
– Preordering the standard edition on Amazon includes the Gilded Glory Pack, featuring skins and a drone skin, with details available on the 2K website.

Borderlands 4 preorders for the Nintendo Switch 2 are now live on Amazon, marking the first opportunity for handheld gamers to secure their copy ahead of the October 3 launch. While PlayStation, Xbox, and PC players have had access to preorders since June, Switch 2 fans can finally join in, though currently only the $70 standard edition is available through major retailers.
At the moment, Amazon and GameStop list just the base version, unlike the console and PC releases which also offer a Super Deluxe Edition packed with extra content. Whether a physical Super Deluxe Edition will arrive for the Switch 2 remains uncertain, but Nintendo’s eShop already allows digital preorders for the upgraded version. This means players who want the additional perks, just not in a box, can still get them.
Those who preorder through Amazon will receive the Gilded Glory Pack, which includes exclusive cosmetic items like a Vault Hunter skin, a weapon skin, and a drone skin. More details about these bonuses can be found on 2K’s official site.
One important note: The physical edition for the Switch 2 isn’t a traditional cartridge. Instead, it’s a game-key card, meaning buyers will need to download the full title rather than playing directly from the card.
Amazon’s preorder price guarantee adds another layer of appeal. If the game’s price drops between now and the shipping date, customers automatically pay the lower amount. That said, discounts on Nintendo titles, especially preorders, are rare, so don’t expect significant price cuts before launch. Historically, even after release, first-party Nintendo games tend to hold their value, making this guarantee more of a safety net than a likely discount.
For fans eager to dive back into the chaotic world of Pandora, securing a preorder now ensures they’ll be among the first to play when the Switch 2 version arrives this fall.
