Nier: Automata Dev Working on Fix for Patch That Accidentally Bloated the Game Size to 366GB on PC

A Nier: Automata update intended to add Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese support instead caused the PC game’s reported installation size to swell to 366GB. The error left some players unable to install or play the game and prompted a wave of negative Steam reviews.

Square Enix said the full game had mistakenly been applied to every included DLC pack and that it was investigating a fix. As a temporary workaround, players can uncheck the DLC in Steam’s Properties menu to download the base game; before the update, it was around 50GB. The article also notes that no sequel to Nier: Automata has been announced.
