NieR: Automata Steam Patch Adds Chinese and Korean, Install Size Hits 366.56GB
The November 6, 2026 update reportedly brings Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Korean support, but the Steam page still lists 50GB.
NieR: Automata received a small update on Steam on November 6, 2026 that added Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Korean language support, according to gamesradar.com. The patch download itself was reported by users to be about 8GB.
The larger issue for players is storage. After the update, installing the game through Steam reportedly requires 366.56GB of space, a figure that surfaced in user reports following the patch.
The Steam store page's system requirements have not been updated to match: they still list 50GB of available space. Before the update, the game's PC install size was 50GB.
Early analysis of the patch found no content changes beyond the new language support, so the jump in install size is not explained by new game content in the reports so far.
NieR: Automata is directed by Yoko Taro and published by Square Enix.
Not the first oversized install
Large install sizes have come up before on PC: Phantom Blade Zero had a 300GB pre-load.
