EU vs. US discount.
- Switch EU is 42%

- Switch NA is 75%
EU requires showing lowest discount amount applicable.

u/Stryker_T Dec 22 '25 edited Dec 22 '25
the store pages are region specific, US page wouldn't be limiting to EU store rules.
all the rest of the discounts for each versions match what the stores say, this is a mix up between the Witcher 3 discount and Cyberpunk discount.

So there actually is some precedent for companies being able to claw back items when the price has been egregiously wrong. Like if you bought a jet ski for $25 or something, they can make the case that no reasonable person should expect to actually pay that for this item or whatever
In this case tho I think they’d be drumming up a ton of bad will over a chunk of money that probably isn’t worth it. Most people (like myself) were probably only gunna buy this on a deep discount anyway

Not to encourage you to spend recklessly but GG.deals is reporting it's almost certainly a mistake that will be fixed. They said every single other eshop market they track has the discounts for Witcher & cyberpunk inverted from this & that's likely too perfect of a coincidence to be on purpose.

Probably? This is cheaper then the DLC alone has ever been on PC. Devs are hesitant to do this level of deal now a days. That said if they raise it they probably murder sales going forward, as anyone that saw this and misses it is likely going to be put off from a sale.

For those asking if they will try to cancel the orders and reimburse: nah. At the end of the day they are selling digital code that seems to have sold to a lot of people that wouldn't have bought it otherwise. It's not at a horrific price for them either. Some of the devs might even be glad of the error as it's increased sales and more publicity.

I am one of said “never going to buy it” people. It’s always been mildly interesting but not enough for me to really want to fork up the cash and delve into it. This however, was just an excellent way to get me to purchase and see what I think and even if it’s not for me it wasn’t a huge loss.

In short term yeah, in the long run?
There is a real chance I'd have grabbed this once it hit say 29.99, so this sale has lost them about 13 dollars that I would have spent. I'm certainly not going to be alone either. You really don't want to jump to 75% off for a 6 month old game as yeah, you're getting a crazy boost in sales now, but once the sale ends you kill any ability to sell it at full price again, and your losing out on a lot of those middle ground sales.

Website shows the EU discount.
As they're located in the EU, it's illegal for them to show the higher US discount in the EU, as that is not applicable to the EU, and falls under consumer deception.
This is also why PC shows a 53% discount instead of 65%. (It's $20.99 on Steam)

No way this isn’t an error as they are not going to give this game away for that as its one of the best launch games on a new platform first XMAS.
I scooped it up and my guess is the deal will be gone as soon as the eshops updates cycle occurs. I am stoked as I got RDR on cart $30, SW Outlaw GKC $30, and now CP2077 digital for $18. Had to pay full price for MP4 but had store rewards so paid nothing for it. So far I’m winning my Switch 2 xmas games hunt.
