NieR: Automata offers several editions, each with unique content. This guide compares the Game of the YoRHa and End of the YoRHa editions, highlighting their differences to help you choose the right version.

Game of the YoRHa vs. End of the YoRHa Edition

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:

• 2B, 9S, and A2 outfits.
• Three challenge arenas with quests.
• A new secret boss.

The End of the YoRHa edition adds optional motion controls and touchscreen support (in handheld mode). However, it's important to note that additional DLC (6C2P4A118680823), containing costumes from NieR: Replicant, must be purchased separately. This DLC includes:

• 2P, 9P, and P2 body replicas.
• YoRHa uniforms for 2B, 9S, and A2.
• Fox masks (white and black).
• Baubles (Under the Moon and Remnant Flower).
• Mama and Carrier Pods.

The Game of the YoRHa edition offers exclusive content:

• 3C3C1D119440927 DLC (included)
• Play System, Cardboard, Retro Grey, and Retro Red Pod skins.
• Grimoire Weiss Pod.
• amazarashi Head Pod Skin (PlayStation only).
• Machine Mask Accessory.
• PS4 Dynamic Theme and Avatars (PlayStation only).
• Desktop Wallpapers (PC only).
• Valve Character Accessory (PC only).

Story and gameplay remain identical across both editions. The additional DLC in the End of the YoRHa edition is purely cosmetic.

Become as Gods Edition

The Become as Gods edition is exclusive to Xbox and closely resembles the Game of the YoRHa edition. It includes:

• 3C3C1D119440927 DLC.
• Machine Mask Accessory.
• Grimoire Weiss Pod.
• Cardboard, Retro Grey, and Retro Red Pod skins.

In summary, the best edition depends on your preferred platform. The cosmetic differences are minor, so platform compatibility should be the deciding factor.
