NieR: Automata Editions Comparison: Unveiling the YoRHa Enhancements

NieR: Automata offers several editions, each with unique content. Choosing the right one depends on your platform and desired extras. Let's compare the key differences.

Game of the YoRHa vs. End of the YoRHa Editions

The most significant difference lies in platform availability:

• Game of the YoRHa: PlayStation and PC.
• End of the YoRHa: Nintendo Switch.

Both include the base game and the 3C3C1D119440927 DLC, featuring:

• New outfits for 2B, 9S, and A2.
• Three challenging arenas with quests.
• A secret boss.

The End of the YoRHa edition adds optional motion controls and touchscreen support (in handheld mode). However, it also offers a separate, cosmetic DLC (6C2P4A118680823) featuring costumes from NieR: Replicant.

Game of the YoRHa Exclusive Content:

• Play System Pod Skin
• Cardboard Pod Skin
• Retro Grey Pod Skin
• Retro Red Pod Skin
• Grimoire Weiss Pod
• amazarashi Head Pod Skin (PlayStation only)
• Machine Mask Accessory
• PS4 Dynamic Theme (PlayStation only)
• PS4 Avatars (PlayStation only)
• Desktop Wallpapers (PC only)
• Valve Character Accessory (PC only)

Essentially, the Game of the YoRHa edition bundles several cosmetic items, while the End of the YoRHa edition offers platform-specific features and a separately purchased cosmetic DLC.

Become As Gods Edition

Exclusively for Xbox, the Become As Gods edition is similar to the Game of the YoRHa edition, including:

• 3C3C1D119440927 DLC
• Machine Mask Accessory
• Grimoire Weiss Pod
• Cardboard Pod Skin
• Retro Grey Pod Skin
• Retro Red Pod Skin

In terms of core gameplay and story, all editions are identical. The choice depends on your preferred platform and whether you value the included cosmetic DLCs or platform-specific features.
