As promised, Square Enix has just released the first patch for the PC version of NieR Automata. And, alongside all the changes, improvements and tweaks, this patch also removes the Denuvo anti-tamper tech.
NieR Automata’s Steam Patch is 14.3GB in size and is currently available for download.
Square Enix has stated that it has implemented various stability fixes. Now I don’t really know if the removal of Denuvo is part of these “stability tweaks“.
So there you have it everyone. After four years, Square Enix has fixed NieR Automata on PC. Below you can also find the changelog for this patch.
NieR Automata July 15th Update Release Notes
Changes made
- Borderless Video Settings
Added Borderless video settings. - Fidelity FX
Added a Fidelity FX CAS feature. - • HDR
The system will now detect whether HDR has been activated in the Windows display settings, and automatically boot the game in HDR mode if it has. - Anti-aliasing
Adjustments to the anti-aliasing functionality - UI textures (4K)
Approximately 270 UI textures for icons, backdrops and UI elements etc. now support 4K resolutions. - Cut scenes
The bit rate has been improved and all pre-rendered cut scenes adjusted. Thus, they will now play in 60FPS and display in the correct aspect ratio without stretching the picture. - Global illumination
Added a new “Global illumination” feature. You can set this option to three different levels; High, Medium or Low. - Ambient occlusion/ bloom
The rendering targets for ambient occlusion and bloom effects have been changed to dynamic resolution based on the game’s resolution.
Bug fixes
- It is now possible to switch between recently selected display modes for screenshots, such as between full screen and windowed mode or between borderless and windowed mode, by pushing the Alt + Enter keys together.
- The game does no longer display the mouse cursor when using a game pad controller.
- Stabilized the frame rate at 60FPS under default settings.

That’s it, that’s the plan all along
Denuvo was removed month ago…
Wrong, no updates were triggered on this game a month ago.
Nope, SteamDB indicated that it was removed from the internal/testing build (and that it would be removed from the public build via its upcoming patch).
You’re right, my bad
Excellent!
Only 4 years later than it should have been. Well done, SE.
Better late than never right? I hope in the future they better optimize their PC releases. Now then I wonder if the xbox gamepass app will be getting this update as well.. I have a suspicion that bad reviews there is what prompted something like this, although I could be wrong.
Blame Yoko FaqqoTARo.
Its good that they remove overheads even when it could have been done sooner.
I hope the next Nier stars a negro so the fagboys will literally kill themselves if that happens. Nier is SO SHIIT that whenever I “play” it I don’t feel like I’m playing a game, I feel that I’m just WASTING MY TIME. Somehow, just walking around my house is more interesting than “playing” that piece of shiit series. Nier is SO SHIIT that it has become a proverbial example of trash games that whenever I play a bad game I compare it to Nier.
Nier = Shiit game with BELOW average story
Also Nier = Coalition between scammers (Yoko FaqqoTARo & Square Enix)
Also 2Butthurt Nier fanboys = “SQUARE ENIX BAD! YOKO TARO AWESOME!” (Seriously, what the fvck? That’s like hating Nintendo but loving Shigeru Miyamoto! THEY’RE BOTH 2 SIDES OF THE SAME COIN! YOU CAN’T LOVE ONE AND HATE THE OTHER YOU FVCKING IMBECILES!!!)

Its a video game. Its entertainment. Go take a walk outside take a deep breath. There are other things far more important in life than a videogame.
Go hike, go date people, eat stuff you love, experience adventure, go to the beach, smile, fall in love, wear sunscreen, make other people feel better when they see you. Can you do that son ? Can you live your life without worrying about videogames ? And when you die what will your biggest accomplishment will be ?
You can do it. Everything is achievable.
And the answer to everything in life is love.
Don’t remember asking, virgin.
Ok sjw.
