Nintendo Switch owners were thrilled by a massive discount on the eShop, only to learn it was a "misunderstanding." The jaw-dropping prices for blockbusters like Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt surprised everyone, prompting a swift official response from CD Projekt Red.

Here’s what happened with the discount "glitch" and the good news for players:

CD Projekt Red’s eShop Discount Statement: "It Was a Mistake, But We Won’t Cancel Sales!"

Massive discounts on The Witcher 3 and (with ongoing debate about the Switch cloud version) Cyberpunk 2077 on Nintendo eShop caused a stir in the gaming world. As prices dropped far below normal, gamers rushed to grab these titles. CD Projekt Red admitted it was a technical mistake, but took a player-friendly approach.

What Happened? "The Discount Was a Software Error"

According to CD Projekt, the eShop’s pricing policy was accidentally set to extremely low levels. Many gamers quickly added these "deal" prices to their libraries within seconds.

• Error: The discount rates far exceeded planned seasonal campaigns.

• Statement: "We confirm there was a pricing error. However, all players who completed their purchase during this period will keep their rights."

Great News for Gamers: Purchases Will Be Honored!

While companies usually cancel sales and issue refunds in such cases, CD Projekt Red once again proved its gamer-friendly reputation. The company announced, "Even though it was a mistake, everyone who bought at this price will keep their games in their library" honoring all purchases.
