Nintendo Switch owners were thrilled by a massive discount that quickly turned out to be a "misunderstanding" but not before it shook up the gaming world. When players spotted incredible prices for blockbusters like Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on the eShop, the news spread fast and CD Projekt Red wasted no time issuing an official statement.

Here are the details behind this "glitch" and the decision that made gamers cheer:

CD Projekt Red Responds to eShop Discount: "It Was a Mistake, But We're Not Cancelling Sales!"

Huge discounts on The Witcher 3 and (amid ongoing debate about the Switch cloud version) Cyberpunk 2077 appeared on the Nintendo eShop, causing confusion and excitement in the gaming community. With prices dropping far below normal, gamers rushed to grab these deals. CD Projekt Red admitted it was a technical error but chose to win over fans with a gamer-friendly move.

What Happened? "The Discount Was a Software Glitch"

According to CD Projekt, the eShop’s pricing system mistakenly set prices to extremely low levels. Many players added these games to their libraries within seconds, taking advantage of the unexpected offer.

• The glitch: Discount rates went way beyond planned seasonal campaigns.

• Statement: "We confirm there was a pricing error. However, we will honour all purchases made during this period."

Good News for Gamers: All Purchases Will Stand!

While most companies would cancel sales and issue refunds in such cases, CD Projekt Red proved its gamer-first approach once again. The company announced, "Even though this was a mistake, everyone who bought at these prices will keep their games in their libraries" honouring every sale.
