The announcement of a superior Xbox Game Pass version reignited the anger of fans, though, culminating in NieR: Automata receiving a sea of bad reviews on Steam this past Spring. The complaints from Steam users died down as the months and years wore on, especially after PlatinumGames exhibited little to no interest in vastly improving the experience. NieR: Automata on Steam has been a mess since launch, plagued by issues such as frame rate hiccups, poor ultrawide screen options, and subpar mouse and keyboard support.
While developer PlatinumGames recently rolled out an update for NieR: Automata 's disappointing Steam version, a fan-made comparison video suggests very little has changed in terms of overall performance.
