Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition for Switch 2 is now available for just $17, marking a 75% drop just in time for the holiday season.
Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition made its debut as a launch title for the Switch 2 back in June, priced at $70. For those who had been hesitant to dive into the game due to its rocky launch, this edition was already a solid recommendation. Now, just in time for the holiday season, that price has dropped an astonishing 75% to just $17.
Twice a year, I step away from my usual reporting duties to help out the fantastic hardware team during major sales events like Prime Day and Black Friday, sharing deals that are simply too good to ignore. However, this isn’t one of those typical stories. This is an exceptionally rare deal that I felt compelled to share, not as a journalist, but as a fellow gamer.
When the savvy deal hunters on a popular forum first caught wind of this price drop, they speculated it might be a “price error.” However, the developers have confirmed through official channels that this is indeed the correct price. It’s understandable why some might think it’s too good to be true; games on the Switch 2 usually take a long time to see significant price reductions. Although Cyberpunk 2077 originally launched in 2020, the Ultimate Edition, packed with all the enhancements and polish, only arrived on Switch 2 six months ago. Whoever is behind this price cut deserves a round of applause.
The Ultimate Edition features the thrilling expansion, Phantom Liberty, all previously released DLC, and the crucial 2.0 update that addressed many of the game’s earlier issues. It’s important to note that if you already own the base game and Phantom Liberty on another platform, the Ultimate Edition won’t offer any new content for you. This deal is particularly appealing if you’re looking to experience everything on the Switch 2 or if you haven’t yet jumped into the game.
In summary, if you haven’t played Cyberpunk 2077 and you’re a Switch 2 owner, this is likely the best deal you’ll come across for quite some time. However, if you’re content playing on other platforms and already have Phantom Liberty, you might find a better way to spend your $17—unless you’re considering gifting a fantastic game for the price of a double protein bowl at Chipotle. That’s a choice you’ll have to make.
No, Cyberpunk 2077’s elevators aren’t just loading screens in disguise, says lead: “The engine is a miracle. I will not accept slander.”
