NieR: Automata was suddenly bombed by the gaming community on Steam

NieR: Automata met with backlash from Steam gamers.

After its release in 2017, NieR: Automata has become a favorite title of millions of gamers worldwide, seeing multiple releases as well as further collaborations with other titles.

The initial popularity of NieR: Automata on PlayStation 4, release on PC, and eventually the official title added to Xbox and the Game Pass service, where Square Enix added new DLC. Called the Become as Gods version, Xbox and Windows PC players will get to experience NieR: Automata in its best format, DLC, and various enhancements like HDR, 4K resolution, and additional bug fixes. However, these were not added to the Steam release version, which caused Steam gamers to express their frustration at the missing content.

Oddly enough, the Become as Gods update seems to have skipped Steam and only released on Xbox Game Pass or Windows Store. For Steam gamers, this is a huge shock as their version of NieR: Automata is technically outdated, lacking many improvements while the Windows Store PC version is receiving updates. There was no official comment from Square Enix, so the Steam gaming community decided to take another tactic to express their displeasure.

Over the past three days, NieR: Automata has received over 500 negative reviews on Steam. Player frustration peaked when NieR: Automata on Game Pass released with a fixed resolution, alongside other issues like stuttering and crashes.

Currently, Steam has locked player reviews for NieR: Automata. However, it’s clear that Nier: Automata’s bug issues were initially a sore point for many gamers, and now they’re feeling like they’ve been “ignored” by Square Enix after years of buying NieR: Automata on Steam. .

While the situation on Steam is not good, NieR: Automata continues to pass major sales milestones (5.5 million just after its 4th anniversary). Set in the Nier universe, Automata is an action role-playing game published by Square Enix for PS4 and PC.

As a brave warrior, you will go along with your teammates to fight against the evil force that wants to invade the world. In terms of gameplay, the main combat mechanism in NieR: Automata is still action fighting, fast slashing. With an average score on Metacritic of up to 90/100, Nier Automata is truly one of the best games in years.
