Square Enix says a NieR:Automata update on Steam has made the installation require more storage than intended. For now, the publisher recommends installing the base game separately from its add-ons.

To download the base game at its intended size, open the game’s Properties in Steam, select DLC and uncheck every add-on. Square Enix is still working on a fix for the installation issue.

The update added support for Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Korean.
