Nintendo Switch owners were thrilled by a massive discount on the eShop, only to find out it was a "misunderstanding" that quickly made headlines. When players spotted unbelievable prices for hits like Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the excitement was real until an official statement arrived from CD Projekt Red.

Here are the details behind this "glitch" and the player-friendly decision that followed:

CD Projekt Red Responds: "It Was a Mistake, But We're Honoring All Sales!"

Huge discounts for The Witcher 3 and the (still-debated cloud version of) Cyberpunk 2077 appeared on the Nintendo eShop, causing a stir across the gaming world. With prices dropping far below their regular cost, gamers rushed to the store. CD Projekt Red admitted it was a technical error but then won hearts with their next move.

What Happened? "It Was a Pricing Software Glitch"

According to CD Projekt, the eShop’s pricing system accidentally slashed prices to extremely low levels. Many players jumped on the opportunity and added the games to their libraries within seconds.

• The Glitch: Discount rates soared far above any planned seasonal promotions.

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

Good News for Gamers: All Purchases Stand!

While most companies would cancel such sales and issue refunds, CD Projekt Red proved once again it puts players first. The company announced, "Even though a mistake was made, everyone who bought at that price will keep their games in their library" honoring every sale.
