NIER: AUTOMATA TO LAUNCH ON STEAM IN EARLY 2017
LOS ANGELES (Aug. 17, 2016) -- NieR: Automata™, the upcoming action-RPG from SQUARE ENIX® and PlatinumGames Inc, will launch on STEAM® for PC as well as the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system in early 2017. The highly anticipated follow up to the 2010 cult-classic NIER®, NieR: Automata tells the story of androids 2B, 9S and A2 and their battle to reclaim a machine-driven dystopia overrun by powerful weapons known as machine lifeforms.

Developed by an all-star team consisting of producer Yosuke Saito (DRAGON QUEST® X / NIER), director YOKO TARO (Drakengard® / NIER ), character designer Akihiko Yoshida from CyDesignation, Inc. (FINAL FANTASY® XIV / BRAVELY DEFAULT®), game designer Takahisa Taura from PlatinumGames Inc. (Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance), and composer Keiichi Okabe from MONACA, Inc. (TEKKEN / Drakengard 3 / NIER ).

Nice, that PC and PS4 combo will make this game at least a 2-3 million seller now compared to like a 1.5-2 million seller if it stayed exclusive

game looks beast as well, i'll probably get it day one

With this on pc and ps4 I've a feeling it's going to sell very well

Holy shit! Launching on PC is epic news

This is the hack n slash game I was looking for!

Great news indeed and I think we will see a trend over the next year or 2 with most Japanese third party games that were previously exclusive to Sony platforms releasing at the same time on PC or within a few months as it has shown great sales and interest more and more as times goes on, Basically any game that has started development recently and most future projects will be worked on from the start to support both PC and PS4, Going to be a great time for PC owners indeed.

Yeaa and with this launching on PC... It makes PC the best platform for Platinum Games for this generation. Scalebound exclusive to x1 and PC while Nier is exclusive to ps4 and PC. This is going to be one amazing generation for PC gamers

I remember playing a couple of hours of the first Nier and enjoying it. Hopefully Automata will deliver!

This i fear is going to become the new trend. Nier and Ni-oh have both done it thus far.

Rather than release on PS4/XB1/PC or even just PS4/XB1.... devs are beginning to lean towards just releasing on PS4/PC.

I hope MS is happy now.

PCs don't habe generations...... just saying. 

Ik, I am going by console generations
