'Was lucky that it ran without issue on my system, and was able to enjoy a great game with a solid story. 'I used mods like the far mod so that the game would run better and be more stable,' said Steam user Fish and Chips in yet another negative review. 'After letting the Steam port languish for four years Square Enix did the impossible: they put a better version of the game on Game Pass PC with FidelityFX, HDR, borderless mode, and improved performance while doing absolutely nothing about the pre-existing version,' read a review by Steam user 'yellowcake'.

Recent reviews of Nier: Automata on Steam. At the time of publication, 281 negative reviews had been left in the last three days - and they're almost all a reaction to the better PC version out now on Xbox Game Pass.

Some Steam owners of Nier: Automata have left negative reviews to complain about the lack of an update to their version of the game. The video below from Digital Foundry goes into more detail. While modders quickly stepped up to fix some of the glaring issues, Digital Foundry lamented what it called 'amateurish issues' that 'mar what could have been one of Platinum's best PC games'.

For example, for some reason the Steam game boots to a 4:3-like image regardless of which resolution is selected. The 'vanilla' PC version of Nier: Automata that launched on Steam in March 2017 was roundly criticised for performance and technical issues.

In a post on Facebook, QLOC said these enhancements were made 'on special request from PlatinumGames'. The borderless video setting is particularly welcome - it means Nier: Automata runs at the right resolution when it boots. This port, handled by developer QLOC, includes a number of enhancements, such as a borderless video setting, FidelityFX options, HDR, and user interface textures upscaled to 4k. The PC version of Nier: Automata that launched into Xbox Game Pass this week is a port of the Nier: Automata Become as Gods Edition that launched on Xbox One in 2018 with the DLC thrown in. Nier: Automata is better on Xbox Game Pass PC than on Steam, it has emerged.
