May 20: With rising concerns about the increasing cost of video games, some players are wondering if future titles will start launching at $80, a price point that’s becoming more common in the current generation. In light of this, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford shared some thoughts on the topic via X (formerly Twitter), especially in relation to Borderlands 4, which has been confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2.
When asked by a fan whether Borderlands 4 would be priced at $80, Pitchford responded by saying, “If you’re a real fan, you’ll find a way to make it happen.” He added that the final price point is ultimately not his decision, and that it’s likely up to publisher Take-Two Interactive.

Nintendo doesn’t go into detail about why a phone number is required for GameChat on Switch 2, but the reason seems fairly clear. The company always takes the protection of its players seriously – especially younger ones. If someone uses GameChat in a nefarious way, it’s a bit easier for Nintendo to block them and prevent them from returning.
