Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3's Huge eShop Discounts Were an 'Error,' CD Projekt Says, but It Will Honor Any Sales Made

Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3’s Huge eShop Discounts Were an ‘Error,’ CD Projekt Says, but It Will Honor Any Sales Made

CD Projekt has said huge discounts on Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition displayed on the Nintendo Switch 2 eShop this week were a mistake, but it will honor any sales made at the discounted prices.

Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition for Nintendo Switch 2 went on sale with a whopping 75% off in the U.S. earlier this week, making the normally $69.99 game just $17.49. Making this deal all the more eye-catching is the fact the Ultimate Edition includes the DLC expansion Phantom Liberty. This DLC normally costs around $30 (or around $21 with a discount), which meant the base game plus the DLC was cheaper than the DLC itself if you bought it with the discount. As you’d expect, plenty of people bought the game at that price. “I couldn’t believe it lmfao,” one fan said. “I bought as soon as I saw the price. I had been waiting for it to go on sale but was amazed at the discount.” Said another: “I was on the fence for a few hours, and would have skipped it if it was $20. So they got money out of people like me who weren’t super interested. Bought it on PC years ago and barely started it. Hoping the switch 2 edition/cross save gets me to finish the game.”

Now, CD Projekt has corrected the discount so Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition costs $39.99 (a 42% discount). The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition, meanwhile, now costs $14.99 with a 75% discount properly applied.

CD Projekt issued the following statement on social media:

The discounts for Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition displayed on Nintendo Switch 2 eShop in the Americas on December 22, 2025 were incorrect.

The situation is a result of an error we made when submitting the discount. We have corrected the error and new discounts have now been applied.

Purchases made at the previous discount rate are unaffected by this change.

As you’d expect, CD Projekt’s statement is going down well with fans of the company and its games, and in particular with those who jumped on the discount error before it was corrected. “At that price it’s basically a no-brainer impulse buy. Props to CDPR for honoring it though, lot of companies would’ve just cancelled the orders and blamed a ‘system error.’ Makes me want to support them more,” said one fan.
