NieR: Automata - Game Of The YoRHa vs End Of The YoRHa Edition Differences

NieR: Automata offers several editions, each with unique content. Understanding the differences is key to choosing the right version. This guide compares 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 difference 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 varying difficulty levels and quests.
• A new secret boss.

The End of the YoRHa edition adds optional motion controls and touchscreen support (in handheld mode). However, it also offers a separate, cosmetic DLC, 6C2P4A118680823, containing costumes from NieR: Replicant.

Exclusive Content:

• Game of the YoRHa: Includes several exclusive pod skins (Play System, Cardboard, Retro Grey, Retro Red, Grimoire Weiss), a Machine Mask accessory, and platform-specific bonuses (PS4 dynamic theme, avatars; PC desktop wallpapers, Valve character accessory).
• End of the YoRHa: Offers the additional 6C2P4A118680823 DLC with costumes and pod skins.

Become as Gods Edition

This edition is exclusive to Xbox and largely mirrors the Game of the YoRHa edition, including the 3C3C1D119440927 DLC, a Machine Mask accessory, Grimoire Weiss pod, and Cardboard, Retro Grey, and Retro Red pod skins.

Conclusion

The core gameplay and story remain consistent across all editions. The choice depends on your preferred platform and desired additional content. If you prioritize platform-specific bonuses and don't need the NieR: Replicant costumes, the Game of the YoRHa edition is a solid choice. Switch players will opt for the End of the YoRHa edition, potentially purchasing the extra DLC. The Become as Gods edition caters solely to Xbox users.
