Borderlands Collection: Pandora’s Box was released on August 31, 2023, for PlayStation 5, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Microsoft Windows, Xbox Series X and Series S. However, one platform that the bundle missed was the Nintendo Switch. Nonetheless, it looks like the Borderlands bundle could finally be coming to Nintendo Switch.
A rating of the bundle on Nintendo Switch by Germany’s software ratings board USK was recently leaked. The board has rated the Borderlands Collection: Pandora’s Box for the console on its official website. The leak suggests that the bundle may soon come to Nintendo Switch.

The German organization Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle (USK) is a Germany-based video game rating site. The USK is a non-profit organization that was established voluntarily by the computer games industry. It is considered to be one of the strictest ratings boards.
The USK is basically the German equivalent of PEGI, an association prevalent in the rest of Europe, as well as ESRB, which is operated in the United States and Canada.
What is included in Borderlands Collection: Pandora’s Box?
Initially released in August 2023, the Borderlands Collection included all six of the base games from the franchise. These include Borderlands, Borderlands 2, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, Tales from the Borderlands, Borderlands 3, and New Tales from the Borderlands.
The bundle also brings along all of the DLC for the games. The description of the bundle reads, “Venture across the desert planet of Pandora and the brutal worlds beyond, playing as badass Vault Hunters in search of legendary loot.”
“Every Borderlands game is packed with larger-than-life characters, treacherous worlds, and unforgettable stories,” it adds. At release, the bundle was priced at $150. Experts believe that players who already own part of the collection may find the bundle to be expensive and hardly worth the price. However, it was said to be a solid deal for fans who were jumping into the game franchise for the first time.
When is Borderlands Collection: Pandora’s Box releasing for Nintendo Switch?
Since the rating for the bundle was leaked, the exact release date of Borderlands Collection: Pandora’s Box on Nintendo Switch is unknown. Notably, fans noticed that the classification date mentioned on the rating site was listed as August 30, a day before its PC, Xbox, and PlayStation release.

However, that has not happened, and neither Nintendo nor developer 2K has reacted to fans’ requests about the bundle coming to Nintendo Switch. Thus, for now, fans can only hope and wait for an official confirmation from developers or Nintendo about the same.
