Automata Patch on Steam Coming This Week Full of New Features

The significant change that fans of NieR: Automata were waiting for. Announced last April, we finally know when the Steam version patch will be available on our devices, as well as all the changes it implements.

Following July 15, that is, this Thursday, and Platinum Games has revealed through an official note the modifications, which are not few. The problem arises because the Microsoft Store and Xbox Game Pass versions are the Become As Gods Edition, which has improvements compared to the Valve store.

We found that NieR: Automata on Steam does not have a full-screen option, suffers from frame drops, and is incompatible with multiple mods. Most of these defects have been corrected, and an enhanced adventure will be available.
