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&#8217;d expect, plenty of people bought the game at that price. &#8220;I couldn\u2019t believe it lmfao,&#8221; one fan said. &#8220;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.&#8221; Said another: &#8220;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\u2019t 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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Now, CD Projekt has corrected the discount so Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition costs $39.99 (a 42% discount). The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt \u2013 Complete Edition, meanwhile, now costs $14.99 with a 75% discount properly applied.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">CD Projekt issued the following statement on social media:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The discounts for Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt \u2013 Complete Edition displayed on Nintendo Switch 2 eShop in the Americas on December 22, 2025 were incorrect.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>Purchases made at the previous discount rate are unaffected by this change.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">As you&#8217;d expect, CD Projekt&#8217;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. &#8220;At that price it&#8217;s basically a no-brainer impulse buy. Props to CDPR for honoring it though, lot of companies would&#8217;ve just cancelled the orders and blamed a &#8216;system error.&#8217; Makes me want to support them more,&#8221; said one fan.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><button type=\"button\" style=\"display:none\" class=\"jsx-2228525885\"\/><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\">\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Cyberpunk Switch 2 Screenshots<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" decoding=\"async\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2021719738 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3381835873 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RightChevron.272be43c.svg) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">If you\u2019re jumping into Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time this Christmas, check out our huge guide.
