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

After a supposedly small update sent NieR: Automata's PC file size skyrocketing from a modest 50GB to over 366GB, the devs have finally been able to fix things so the action RPG won't eat up all your storage space.

The update in question arrived last week, and added Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean as extra languages. All valuable additions, of course, but unfortunately, things clearly didn't go quite to plan with the patch, with the game inexplicably becoming 600% bigger in the process.

While the official NieR account apologized and offered a temporary workaround, advising players to uninstall the game's DLC to slim things down to the intended size, the situation obviously wasn't ideal. However, things should now be back to normal for everyone. "We have identified the cause and now resolved this issue," a new post reads. "Apologies for any inconvenience caused."

We have identified the cause and now resolved this issue. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.November 9, 2026

For most people, this whole situation was probably more amusing than it was genuinely inconvenient, because, again, how does this even happen? To put it into perspective, the septupled file size made NieR: Automata over 72% larger than the 212GB pre-load size for GTA 6 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S announced by Rockstar Games last week. Hell, it was even bigger than the monstrous 300GB that Phantom Blade Zero developer S-Game told players to reserve to pre-load its 145GB action RPG last month.
