A closer look at “Nier: Automata PC Patch Bloats Game to 366GB, Fix Coming Says PlatinumGames”, exactly as the source publishes it. A new Nier: Automata patch on PC, intended to add Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese language support, has accidentally inflated the game's file size to a massive 366GB. Developer PlatinumGames has acknowledged the issue and is working on a fix. The patch was released yesterday, and players quickly noticed the enormous size, which is roughly 1.5 times the expected install size of the upcoming GTA 6.
This bloating is due to an error in the patch, not new content, and it affects Steam users who have automatic updates enabled. The game normally requires around 50GB, so the 366GB size is a significant problem, especially for players with limited storage or data caps. PlatinumGames has not yet provided a timeline for the fix, but they are actively investigating. The full version stays on the original page, which this listing opens directly.
