Switch 2 Sale

Key Takeaways:
Nintendo’s eShop holiday sale discounts both Switch 2 and original Switch titles through Jan 4.
Notable Switch 2 deals: Ball x Pit ($12), Final Fantasy Tactics ($40), The Witcher 3 now as low as $14.49.
Several older hits are deeply discounted—No Man’s Sky, Nier: Automata, Cult of the Lamb and Star Wars: Outlaws.

What’s on sale

Nintendo’s seasonal eShop promotion includes discounts for the new Switch 2 and the original Switch. The sale covers recent releases and older catalog staples, offering meaningful savings for players stocking gifts or filling out their libraries.

High-profile Switch 2 discounts highlighted by Nintendo include Ball x Pit at roughly $12 (about 20% off) and Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles for $40, down from $50. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition has been listed at a steep discount for Switch 2 owners.

Deep cuts on older hits

Several established titles are also heavily reduced. No Man’s Sky is about 50% off at $24 for either Switch platform. Nier: Automata has dropped to roughly $16 from its typical $40 price.

Cult of the Lamb: Unholy Edition for the original Switch is around half price at $33, and Star Wars: Outlaws is discounted to about $40, a $20 reduction from its usual cost.

CD Projekt RED price correction

CD Projekt RED intervened after the sale went live to correct pricing for two of its games. An initial apparent error briefly showed Cyberpunk 2077 at a much lower price and The Witcher 3 at a slightly higher one.

The developer confirmed the mistake and adjusted the listings: Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition was raised to about $39.99, while The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition was reduced further to roughly $14.49. The company attributed the swaps to an error during submission.

How long the sale lasts

The holiday discounts run through January 4, giving shoppers a window to pick up deals for last-minute gifts or to expand their own Switch libraries.

Shopping tips

Check platform-specific listings: some discounts differ between Switch and Switch 2 versions. Prices can change quickly—especially when publishers correct errors—so add desired titles to your cart or wishlist and confirm the final price before purchasing.

If you’re buying as gifts, note the sale end date and confirm the correct platform version to avoid duplicate purchases.
