Take-Two, the owner of Borderlands developer Gearbox, says it is “thrilled” with Borderlands 4 despite a mixed reaction from some players at launch. The comments signal the publisher’s confidence in the game’s performance and longer-term prospects, even as early fan dissatisfaction has drawn attention.

The article contrasts Take-Two’s positive assessment with criticism from part of the Borderlands community following release. No specific sales figures, review scores or details of the complaints are provided in the supplied text, so the scale and causes of the negative reaction are unclear.
