NieR: Automata - 2B or Not 2B: Game Version Breakdown

NieR: Automata offers several editions, each with unique content. This guide clarifies the differences between the Game of the YoRHa, End of the YoRHa, and Become as Gods editions.

Game of the YoRHa vs. End of the YoRHa Editions:

The primary distinction 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 challenge arenas with tiered difficulty and quests.
• A new secret boss.

The End of the YoRHa edition uniquely offers optional motion controls and touchscreen support (in handheld mode). It also allows separate purchase of the 6C2P4A118680823 DLC, containing additional costumes from NieR: Replicant.

The Game of the YoRHa edition includes exclusive content:

• Play System, Cardboard, Retro Grey, Retro Red, and Grimoire Weiss Pod skins.
• Machine Mask accessory.
• Platform-specific extras: PlayStation dynamic theme, avatars; PC desktop wallpapers and Valve character accessory.

Become as Gods Edition:

Available exclusively on Xbox, the Become as Gods edition largely mirrors the Game of the YoRHa edition, including the 3C3C1D119440927 DLC, Machine Mask accessory, Grimoire Weiss Pod skin, and Cardboard, Retro Grey, and Retro Red Pod skins.

Conclusion:

Story and core gameplay remain consistent across all editions. The choice depends on your preferred platform and desired extra content. If platform-exclusive extras aren't crucial, the edition with the most appealing price point is the best option. The 6C2P4A118680823 DLC is purely cosmetic.
