A new weekend brings a fresh crop of game discounts, and the standout offer lands on Nintendo's latest hardware. Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition for Switch 2 has fallen to $53.42, marking its lowest price in 365 days for the platform. The physical cartridge includes both the base game and the Phantom Liberty expansion, delivering the complete Night City experience without requiring a download for the add-on content.
For Switch 2 owners, this price point represents a genuine opportunity to own one of the system's most technically impressive third-party ports. The port has drawn consistent praise since launch for maintaining visual fidelity and performance stability on Nintendo's hybrid hardware, and the all-on-cart format means no storage management headaches or mandatory patches before playing. At this price, the value proposition competes directly with digital sales that rarely dip this low for the complete edition.
Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition Leads Switch 2 Deals
The Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition package bundles the base game alongside the Phantom Liberty expansion, which adds the Dogtown district, a new spy-thriller storyline featuring Idris Elba's character Solomon Reed, and the Relic skill tree that fundamentally changes build variety. On Switch 2, the port targets a stable 30 frames per second with dynamic resolution scaling, and the physical cartridge eliminates the 50-plus gigabyte download that digital buyers face. For players who skipped the game at launch or never experienced the expansion, this 365-day low removes the last significant barrier to entry.
Physical media collectors gain an additional advantage: the cartridge contains the full experience with no required day-one patch to access Phantom Liberty content. This matters on Switch 2 where internal storage remains at a premium and microSD Express cards carry a price premium. The deal appears at major retailers as of October 17, though stock levels for physical Switch 2 titles can fluctuate quickly when a price hits a yearly low.
Pikmin 4 Digital Discount Sets Up Switch 2 Upgrade Path
Walmart currently offers digital copies of Pikmin 4 for the original Nintendo Switch at $39.88, a timely discount ahead of next month's Pikmin 4 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy release. Purchasing the Switch version now open ups a $9.99 upgrade path to the Switch 2 Edition, bringing the total investment to roughly $49.87 — significantly below the $70 standalone price for the upgraded edition. The Switch 2 Edition promises enhanced visuals, performance improvements, and the new Dandori Academy content that expands the strategic battle mode.
This pricing structure rewards early adoption: players can start the campaign immediately on current hardware and transition to the enhanced version when it launches. The digital format means instant access with no shipping wait, though it does consume internal storage space. For anyone planning to pick up the Switch 2 Edition regardless, buying the base game now effectively saves $20 and grants weeks of additional playtime before the upgrade arrives.
Doom The Dark Ages Premium Edition and Star Wars Zero Company Round Out Offers
Fanatical has slashed the price of Doom: The Dark Ages – Premium Edition to $31.49, a hefty savings for id Software’s latest single‑player shooter that hit shelves earlier this year. This edition bundles the core title with the Revelations DLC, launched this summer, plus extra goodies. Revelations expands the experience with fresh arenas, tougher enemies, and lore pieces that deepen the medieval‑fantasy vibe. Critics praised this addition as a solid complement to the main campaign’s punchy combat flow.
Meanwhile, Amazon lists Star Wars Zero Company at $47.97 for a physical copy, a $12 discount on what critics have called a sleeper hit of the year. The tactical strategy game earned a 9/10 review score for its cinematic presentation reminiscent of Respawn's Star Wars Jedi titles, a narrative focused on non-Force users, and a villain that breaks from franchise conventions. At this price, the physical edition offers permanent ownership without the delisting risks that occasionally affect digital-only tactical games.
Additional Deals Worth Considering
Several other notable discounts round out the weekend selection. The 007 The Daniel Craig Collection 4K Blu-ray set sells for $30.81, bundling Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, and Spectre — including the unrated and extended version of Casino Royale that rarely appears in standard collections. Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake on PlayStation 5 has dropped to $30, matching the best price since its release; the remake significantly expands Dragon Quest II's story content, making it the definitive version of a classic that originally launched decades ago.
Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter sits at $39.99, offering an entry point into the long-running Trails RPG series just as the 2nd Chapter remake releases. The remake modernizes the original's systems while preserving the intricate world-building and character writing that built the franchise's cult following. For Nintendo Switch 2 owners, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake remains available for $59.99 in physical form, though Amazon indicates this pricing ends on the release date approaching later in October.
Across the board, physical editions dominate the standout deals this weekend — a trend that benefits players wary of digital delistings, storage constraints, or the inability to resell. The Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition cartridge at a yearly low price anchors the lineup, but the Pikmin 4 upgrade path and Star Wars Zero Company discount each present compelling value depending on platform preference and genre taste. Stock on physical Switch 2 titles in particular tends to move quickly at these price points, so early action serves collectors best.
