Evaluation
NieR:Automata launched on March 17, 2017 and received its only gameplay DLC — "3C3C1D119440927" — on May 2, 2017. A "Game of the YoRHa Edition" bundling the base game and this DLC was announced in December 2018 and released February 26, 2019, representing the complete content package for the game.
In April 2021, Square Enix announced a technical upgrade patch for the Steam version, which shipped in July 2021 and brought improvements such as 4K UI textures, 60fps cutscenes, HDR support, and various bug fixes. This was a quality-of-life improvement rather than new gameplay content.
The remaining DLC releases are all soundtrack and music products — five soundtrack albums released on March 13, 2025, a piano collection on April 15, 2025, and an orchestra concert music CD on January 20, 2026. These are digital music releases tied to the NieR brand rather than new in-game content.
No new gameplay content has been announced or released since the 2017 DLC. The developer has made no statements about future gameplay additions. The news feed's other "major content" posts from 2021–2022 are promotions for separate games in the NieR/Drakengard universe (Voice of Cards series, NieR Replicant), not updates to NieR:Automata itself. The game's story and gameplay content has been complete since 2019, with the most recent item being a music CD released on January 20, 2026.

About this game
NieR: Automata tells the story of androids 2B, 9S and A2 and their battle to reclaim the machine-driven dystopia overrun by powerful machines.
Humanity has been driven from the Earth by mechanical beings from another world. In a final effort to take back the planet, the human resistance sends a force of android soldiers to destroy the invaders. Now, a war between machines and androids rages on... A war that could soon unveil a long-forgotten truth of the world.
Key Features:
- Action-Packed Battles – Players will switch between using melee and ranged attacks in battle against hordes of enemies and challenging bosses across a variety of open field maps. The tight controls and incredibly fluid combat are simple to learn for newcomers while offering plenty of depth for more experienced action gamers. Players can perform high-speed battle actions—combining light and heavy attacks—and switch through an arsenal of weaponry while evading enemies with speed and style.
- Beautifully Desolate Open-World – The game seamlessly joins together hauntingly beautiful vistas and locations with no area loading. The environments are rendered in 60fps and contain a wealth of sub-events in addition to the main storyline.
- Masterfully Crafted Story and Characters – NieR: Automata tells the story of androids 2B, 9S and A2 and their ferocious battle to reclaim a machine-driven dystopia overrun by powerful weapons known as machine lifeforms.
- Elements of an RPG – Players will obtain a variety of weapon types, level up in battle, learn new combat skills, and customise a loadout that caters to their playstyle.
- Utilise the Pod Support System to Assist In and Outside of Battle – Pods can attack the enemy in both manual and lock-on modes. They can also assist outside of battle, such as allowing the player to glide through the air. Pods can be enhanced throughout the game, with upgrades including new attack methods and variations.
- “Auto Mode” Available for Beginners – Novice players can elect “Auto Mode” for easy attacks and evasions.
