Borderlands 4 may be releasing earlier than expected, but Gearbox's CEO really wants to make it clear that this has nothing to do with the launch dates of any other games, which is notable as plenty were theorizing if it could help narrow down GTA 6's release.

Pitchford issued this statement on social media after many people said they thought Gearbox shifted Borderlands 4 date forward 11 days to September 12 to give Borderlands 4 more room to breathe before GTA 6 comes out. GTA 6, of course, has no release date, but some are speculating it could launch in October.

GTA 6 still lacks a release date, of course, but since Borderlands is published by 2K the company likely has a better idea of when GTA 6 will arrive than the rest of us, thanks to 2K also being part of Take-Two, the shared parent company of Rockstar.
