Comically large Nier: Automata file size has been fixed on PC as official account offers “apologies”

An update for NieR: Automata on PC unexpectedly expanded the game’s installation size from about 50GB to more than 366GB. The developers say they have identified and fixed the problem, restoring the game to its intended size after apologising to players.

The update added Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Korean language support, but a fault caused the game to become roughly seven times larger. The official account had advised players to remove downloadable content as a temporary workaround. At its peak, the game’s install size was more than 72% larger than the 212GB pre-load size announced for GTA 6 on consoles.
