An upgrade patch for the Steam version of NieR Automata is in the works, Square Enix confirmed today.

Originally released in 2017, the Steam version of the second entry in the series released on Steam with a variety of issues that were never properly fixed, forcing players to install mods to play the game. More information on this highly-requested patch will be revealed at a later time.
