This started after someone discovered that the Steam version of the game was quite the inferior version compared to the Windows Store one. It had several issues and did not get any bug or performance issue fixes. Since then, it was review bombed on Steam and it seems Square Enix finally listened to the fans.
The Become as Gods Edition actually had a lot of improvements that made it quite enjoyable to play like FidelityFX, HDR, and 4K upscaled UI and textures. It is still getting updates too.
NieR: Automata is now available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
