Nier Automata<\/a><\/p>\n

If you want to play Nier: Automata<\/strong> again, or experience the game for the first time with some amazing updated visuals, we’ve got some good news for you.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The final version of GPUnity’s texture pack<\/a> is now available, and it makes some impressive changes to the overall game. The mod – which has been in the works since the game launched for PC back in 2017 – updates low-resolution textures and allows for more visual consistency in the game by fixing textures across various areas. <\/p>\n

“My goal is to provide a natural restoration to the low-res textures, maintaining the intended look,” creator GPUnity wrote on Steam<\/a> – and by the looks of the trailer, that goal has certainly been achieved.<\/p>\n

Better yet, there’s a ‘lite’ version of the mod for gamers eager to upgrade the title and enjoy the updated textures on lower-end PC rigs, too.<\/p>\n

The mod contains over 300 improved and updated textures – including for character models 2B and A2 – all at the cost of only a minor performance drop. You can check out the difference in the trailer below.<\/p>\n

If you want to install and run this mod yourself, it’s worth noting that you’ll need Kaldaien’s ‘Fix Automata Resolution’ mod<\/a> installed, too, which allows texture interjection in Square Enix’s introspective RPG hit.<\/p>\n

With these mods installed, you should just about be able to make the game run as well as you’d expect from a PC game, giving you a great reason to jump back into the game that introduced Yoko Taro’s weird and wonderful world to the mainstream if you’ve seen all the coverage of Nier Replicant<\/a> and have a hankering for the haunting series once more.<\/p>\n
