NieR: Automata Game Pass PC version is made by QLOC, not same as STEAM version. Has Borderless Video, FidelityFX, HDR and UI Textures upscaled 4K

PS9 · Mar 17, 2021

It's a port of the 2018 Xbox "Become as Gods" edition. It only just released but so far JadedAlyx and co have found FidelityFX CAS and borderless mode.

mod edit:

oooooo interesting, anything else? Is performance better?

Bill Gaitas · Mar 17, 2021

Some screenshots from my early look at the game, it seems to run fine on a RX 580.

Well, that is interesting.

ThreePi · Mar 17, 2021

What was "broken" about the Steam release? I played it (albeit a year or so after it came out) and don't recall any glaring issues.

OnionPowder · Mar 17, 2021

What the hell?

Update my paid version square

AshenOne · Mar 17, 2021

Pancracio17 · Mar 17, 2021

Soooo... they left the steam version broken and made a new port? Why?

7thFloor · Mar 17, 2021

Wow Square

cyrribrae · Mar 17, 2021

Interesting o.o No mods needed then?

Kapryov · Mar 17, 2021

I'm sorry what

Who even did this and why? When??

If they had an updated PC version then... why not update the Steam version?

Okabe · Mar 17, 2021

Works fine on my machine :p

FinFunnels · Mar 17, 2021

This might be the game that drives me to finally try Game Pass.

J75 · Mar 17, 2021

So Steam users are fucked?

texhnolyze · Mar 17, 2021

Exclusive patch.

ConfusedOwl · Mar 17, 2021

If the Steam version doesn't get these fixes that's pretty fucked. It's a very Square Enix move.

zYuuKwn · Mar 17, 2021

Flandy · Mar 17, 2021

Remark · Mar 17, 2021

AshenOne · Mar 17, 2021

Ya'll thought MS was giving Sony the hot rod when it comes to competition? what ya're gonna do now steam HUUUH!!?

Valve Speechless now i bet.. superior version of Nier: Automata on the Windows Store!

Mifec · Mar 17, 2021

Howling from laughter even if this ends up not being true.

Lukar · Mar 17, 2021

Pretty shitty of them to not update the Steam version, even if there are mods that make it decent.

wtf FidelityFX CAS in the settings?

Even have features the Steam version don't.

Not that I recall. I've always maintained a decent PC, was this only an issue with mid-ranger or lower specs?

What crow? I didn't say it wasn't true. I justs aid that I'm laughing my ass off now even if it doesn't end up true.

Even using FAR I still have issues. That's why I never played it much on Steam, waiting for a fix that never came.

Game Bar achievement notifications work fine for you? They are straight up broken for me in all games :|

Yes, it's not a Play Anywhere title. Though oddly enough, it doesn't show as having Achievements at all in the Xbox app.

Dest · Mar 17, 2021

Well, I'm curious. Just bought the Become as Gods edition on PS4, but curious to see how this new PC version holds up. Downloading now.

I think it's hit or miss when playing a game in exclusive fullscreen, with borderless I never had trouble.

Guess the list just isn't live yet. Looks like im' getting another playthrough in lol.

Butch · Mar 17, 2021

Is there a way that I can transfer the steam version saves to this one? I'm assuming not because of the different versions
