Square Enix has released a new update for the Steam version of NieR: Automata featuring Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean language options. Despite saying it takes around 366 GB in the Steam launcher, the Steam update for NieR: Automata is actually 107.7 MB. This was caused by an issue where each piece of DLC was allocating 40 GB or so (the full game size) for installation space.
NieR: Automata is available now for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. At the time of this writing, it’s unclear when these language options will be added to the console versions.
This past February, Square Enix confirmed that NieR: Automata surpassed 10 million units sold, and NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139 sold over 2 million units to date. An anniversary video was also released and ended with the teaser “NieR: Automata to be continued…,” hinting that the story of 2B, 9S, and A2 may not be over yet.
Square Enix also released its NieR Series 15th Anniversary Box on February 28 in Japan for 32,780 yen, or roughly $210. The NieR Series 15th Anniversary Box includes a 210mm (approximately 8.3 inches) scale figure of NieR: Automata protagonist 2B, NieR Re[in]carnation protagonist Fio and the protagonist from NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139…; the NieR Jazz Arrangement Album from the Dinner Show CD; and NieR Weapon Story Book.
The CD contains studio recordings of music that played at the NieR: Something Like a Dinner Show 12024 – A Lovely Meal, Music, Keiichi Okabe, and Cheerful Companions event in December 2024. The NieR Weapon Story Book is a compilation of over 650 weapon stories from NieR: Automata, NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139…, and NieR Re[in]carnation. This is the ultimate book for aficionados of NieR weapon lore.
