This critical milestone prepares the game for release on both digital and physical storefronts. With version 1.0 finalized, Gearbox can now proceed with the September 12 release date. Notably, Borderlands 4 is a significant title for Take-Two Interactive, especially since Grand Theft Auto 6 has been pushed to the next fiscal year.
