It was announced today that NieR: Automata will be coming to Steam in addition to PlayStation 4. Previously it was thought to be PlayStation 4 exclusive, so this is good news for those who do not have a PlayStation 4 or are PC exclusive players. NieR: Automata is the sequel to 2010’s NieR, which was a cult hit.
