As much as I adore Nier: Automata (degree: a lot), I cannot deny the PC version is a bit bum and has been since it launched four years ago. It s daft that we ve had to use a fan-made fix to run it in the correct resolution or stop cutscenes stuttering. Square Enix did us dirty. But oh my giddy aunt, the stars have aligned and today they finally announced an upgrade patch for the post-apocalyptic RPG s Steam version. Presumably with the fixes from the recent Microsoft Store edition?
Nier: Automata wasn t unplayable by any stretch but it was shoddy, and I was surprised when it remained so. While Squeenix did release paid DLC, they did not patch its issues. This Steam guide explains the tools and tweaks we ve needed to fix it ourselves. Hopefully this is the sort of stuff finally getting addressed? Squeenix announced today:
Nier: Automata’s Steam version is getting an upgrade
Square Enix is giving Nier: Automata‘s Steam version some TLC. The publisher took to Twitter to tell fans that an “upgrade patch” for the sombre RPG is currently in development. That’s all the details we have right now, but Square Enix says it’ll have more information to share with you at a “later date”.
This all follows Nier: Automata’s Become As Gods edition coming to Game Pass on PC after being available on Xbox One. Fans reckon it’s a much better version of the game on Steam, so they started review bombing the one that’s available on Valve’s storefront.
